I have wide-ranging experiences and skills gained in the national security field over 15+ years. As an attorney in the Office of the Director of National Intelligence and the National Security Division of the Department of Justice, I advised senior government leaders on national security policy and strategy, intelligence authorities and activities, protection of privacy and civil liberties, and foreign relations. I have a proven ability to understand and anticipate the needs of clients and other stakeholders, and to work collaboratively and with sound judgment to advance mission. I am also a Marine Corps veteran with experience leading military intelligence analysts afloat and ashore in the Pacific theater. I have an enduring interest in professional ethics and currently serve on the Board of Directors of the Fellowships at Auschwitz for the Study of Professional Ethics.
