I am a dynamic, detail-oriented leader.  I have exceptional organizational skills, as well as communication and leadership skills.  I have worked for the Social Security Administration for over 18 years.  I have held progressively increasing positions of responsibility within the agency, where I am now the head of 2 offices, with a total of 49 employees.  I have experience as a business analyst in the past and I am very involved with analyzing the data metrics in the offices that I supervise. 

I have extensive experience in the Social Security disability realm, from taking claims to supervising the program to generating policy.  I liaise with many different components with the Social Security Administration as well as local county governments.  I have edited disability policy when requested and I have been part of multiple proof of concept initiatives.
