I currently work as a Senior (Real Estate) Management Consultant for the federal advisory practice for Guidehouse, LLP. I have 8 years of management consulting experience which involves real estate, financial, data, geospatial, urban planning, program management, budget forecasting, and stakeholder engagement and communications.

I currently work for a federal client and provide real estate leasing and portfolio management to more than 600 properties and facilities, which total up to millions of rentable square feet and hundreds of millions of dollars in annual spend. I am responsible for the management of rent reconciliations, budgeting and the review and approval of new and existing federal and leased spaces. In addition to client service, I am also heavily involved in firm reinvestment activities such as business development and proposal efforts, serving on leadership councils for our National Security segment and spending time on diversity/inclusion initiatives.

Prior to federal government consulting, I gained a great deal of experience in local government and data analysis. I worked for the Maryland National Capital Parks and Planning Commission as a Senior Transportation Planner, which focused on transportation data analysis and its impacts on local jurisdictions.  Prior to work in local government, I also worked for the Department of Defense doing analytical work.
