My analytical skills allow me to navigate complex data and make informed decisions that enhance organizational functionality.

During my tenure at Deloitte, I successfully tracked and managed FOIA requests, releasing redacted records while ensuring compliance with legal standards.

I am passionate about improving processes and have a proven track record of enhancing organizational readiness through innovative solutions.
