Message

At PotomacWave Consulting LLC, I led program management support for FEMA’s Flood Insurance Division, maintaining schedules, risk logs, and controlled project documents for a $4B federal insurance program.

I partnered with senior leaders to establish the management structure for a new Customer Service Division and supported its multiyear strategic plan, translating objectives into Jira schedules, workstreams, and milestones.

Earlier, at Herren Associates, I advised Navy program offices on acquisition, operations, financial management, and workforce planning. Across consulting and federal projects, I supported system testing, requirements work, process improvement, and delivery coordination for organizations including USCIS, TSA, and the Executive Office for United States Attorneys.
