Personal Summary

Throughout my 15 years of professional experience in operations and management, I have developed the strategic thinking, organizational skills, and collaborative leadership style essential for an executive role. In my previous position as Economic Policy Advisor at the Department of State, I successfully managed complex administrative operations, coordinated cross-functional initiatives, and served as a key liaison between executive leadership and diverse stakeholders. My experience includes preparing executive briefing materials, managing confidential correspondence, and driving process improvements that enhanced organizational efficiency by managing the United State’s representation in the G7, G20, and BRICS negotiations.
