Bio:
I’m currently the Foreign Policy Advisor at Special Operations Command North in Colorado. I’ve spent the last 17 years working as a Foreign Service Officer at the US Department of State where I’ve served overseas in the Dominican Republic, Mexico, Saudi Arabia, and Oman and domestically in Washington DC and Colorado. I would love to support any current Oxy students or recent grads who are considering diplomacy as a career.
