   Currently I develop strategy roadmaps for HHS/ASPR tasks including healthcare supply chain, medical countermeasure distribution management, and cyber sector risk management for healthcare and the public health. I was also on a small team running therapeutic ordering, distribution, and tracking portal during the COVID19 public health emergency. I am also the section supervisor for the systems engineering section in the Health and Human Machine Teaming in the Life Science Branch of the Asymmetric Operations Sector (AOS), serving a team of eight systems engineers and project managers.Previously, I was the Assistant Group Supervisor of the Cyber Mission Operations Group in the Cyber Operations Branch of AOS. As such, I was responsible for a team of about 45 technical professionals (recent college grads to experience PhDs) working on human factors, test and evaluation, and cyber defense. I set strategy, conducted interviews and made hiring decisions, provided guidance and coaching, and helped connect staff and projects. I was also the Project Manager for the Integrated Adaptive Cyber Defense (IACD) effort. The IACD team supported federal sponsors in investigating and writing advances in cyber threat information sharing, defense orchestration, and improvements in protecting small to large enterprises.
