   Very grateful for this amazing opportunity to continue my journey at MITRE. In my new role, I’m still contributing to a diverse range of sponsor projects and internal research. Meanwhile, I’ll work closely with our department manager and other leaders setting the course for the Strategic Economics department (N282), one of MITRE’s newest.
