The role serves as a frontline liaison between constituents and federal agencies, such as United States Citizenship and Immigration Services, the Internal Revenue Service, Social Security Administration, the Veterans Administration, and a variety of other federal agencies.
Principal responsibilities of this position include:
- Responding to specific constituent inquiries that involve navigating federal agencies or processes on behalf of constituents

Finally, the position requires having a strong sense of boundaries in order to serve constituents in the most professional manner.
