I am passionate about optimizing performance in the public sector. I find the right approach to improve systems in service of the mission. In my career, I have written over 50 publications on national security topics as a professional analyst, and my analysis has appeared in such places as The New York Times and The Washington Post as well as Inspector General reports to Congress. I am trained in statistics, economics, and operations research. I leverage cutting-edge, technical methods to inform decision-making.
