With over 15 years of experience in public service and leadership, I am passionate about creating positive social and economic impact for the communities and people of New York. As the Deputy Secretary for Economic Development and Workforce at the New York State Executive Chamber, I oversee and coordinate the state's efforts to foster growth, innovation, and inclusion across various sectors and regions.I bring a unique combination of legal, policy, and operational skills to my role, as well as a proven track record of delivering results in complex and dynamic environments. I have a law degree and a master's degree in public policy from Harvard University, and I am an attorney licensed in New York. Previously, I served as the Deputy Borough President of Manhattan, where I represented the Borough President and the residents on multiple boards and commissions, managed the budget and audit of a $87 billion pension fund, and led land use and community development initiatives. I have also worked with diverse stakeholders, including government agencies, nonprofits, businesses, and media, to advocate for and advance the interests and needs of the public.
