Summary of qualifications

I am a senior policy analyst with 12 years in federal transportation programs, currently at GS-14. I have written 3 final rulemakings through the full notice-and-comment cycle and managed a $2.1M multi-year study budget without a single anti-deficiency finding. My comment-response matrices have been borrowed by two other program offices, which I count as a compliment.
