As a Senior Analyst at the US Government Accountability Office (GAO) for more than a decade, I have contributed to overseeing and evaluating major space projects and nuclear programs in the public sector. I have applied my analytical skills, process improvement expertise, and writing skills to assess various projects and initiatives' performance, risks, and challenges, such as NASA's Mars Rover, Perseverance, and the Navy's Columbia-class submarine program.I am also passionate about advancing my knowledge and sharing my insights on space policy and aerospace engineering. I am a Space Policy Fellow at a nonpartisan educational organization and think tank, where I conduct research and participate in discussions on current and emerging issues in the space domain. In 2023, I completed a professional certificate in aerospace engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and in 2024 I started my Masters degree in Engineering at UC Berkeley. I aim to leverage my education, experience, and skills to provide oversight and support development and innovation across the space and defense sectors.
