What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead data-driven workforce, equity, fiscal, or public-policy analysis that turns complex evidence into practical institutional decisions and long-term planning.

At the MTA, I rebuilt workforce forecasting for LIRR and Metro-North, creating retirement propensity models for 13,000 employees that achieved 87–92 percent accuracy and informed hiring targets. I now lead expansion of long-term attrition forecasting for NYC Transit’s Department of Bus and manage a team of three analysts.

I also introduced MTA’s annual Chi-Square disparate-impact testing across its 75,000-person workforce and built labor-market availability models using Census, workforce, and occupational data. Earlier, as Research Director at CTBA, I led econometric, actuarial, housing-discrimination, and public-budget research used in public accountability reporting and policy analysis.

I use R, Excel/VBA, SQL, Tableau, and statistical research design to turn complex workforce, financial, and public-sector data into actionable decisions. My work spans municipal finance, pension funding, workforce planning, EEO compliance, and program evaluation.
