About Me
MY BACKGROUND
Originally from New York, I have accumulated a wealth of experience and resilience through my transformative 20-year career in the United States Marine Corps. Globetrotting and tackling challenges along the way, I honed my ability to overcome obstacles through hard work and unwavering dedication, underpinning my commitment to excellence.
My tenure as an intelligence analyst instilled a deep appreciation for data analysis and effective communication, understanding its crucial role in mission success. I later led multiple teams of intelligence professionals, guiding them to remarkable achievements through the power of collaboration.
