Education/Work Background
In the nascent stages of my career, I have taken a unique route in public sector work, national defense, and nuclear deterrence after graduating from Washington State University with an economics degree. I started my career working on a cybersecurity partnership with the Department of Defense. After getting a taste for the impact this type of work could have, I began working with Sandia National Laboratories under the Department of Energy as a lean process engineer, working on nuclear weapons programs. Currently, I am an analyst with the government and public services division at Deloitte.
