Assigned to special projects within the Economic Indicators Division of the US Census Bureau, I wear a lot of hats. In addition to being the division's outreach POC, I'm currently business development SME for an innovative government pilot program. In my downtime I'm studying to earn COR II designation. I am also Team Lead on the Real Dollar initiative, a multi-agency effort creating a new data series for each PFEI.I spent a year on detail in the Foreign Trade Micro Analysis branch, evaluating and imputing export and import records of Industrial Machinery, Chemicals, and Transportation entering and leaving U.S. ports. Typically, the majority of my work revolves around securing, managing, and presenting confidential data that is protected by Title 13 and Title 26. I also manage economic research and outreach projects for a variety of governmental agencies.My main directive is to coordinate and execute outreach for EID. One of my favorite projects was interviewing large U.S. exporters to understand how they manage country of origin throughout the U.S. supply chain. These efforts led to the development of a NPRM that would adjust foreign export filings. I've also enjoyed short term projects like speaking with importers/exporters of semi-conductors to understand their supply chain and their ability to get product on-demand. I've presented my research findings to a multitude of organizations including U.S. Trade Relations (USTR), the Bureau of Economic Advisors (BEA), Customs and Border Protection (CBP), the Center for Economic Studies (CES), the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS), and a variety of trade organizations.
