Program Manager at the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Science and Technology Directorate (S&T) where I currently manage the Public Safety and Prevention Program. This research portfolio enables policy makers and operational end-users to make informed decisions to divert vulnerable individuals, prevent potential offenders, mitigate vulnerabilities, and enhance community resilience in the face of various social and behavioral threats.
