Before beginning my doctoral work, I served four years on Capitol Hill including as a Senior Legislative Assistant and Appropriations Associate, and I have worked as a policy advisor on presidential and congressional campaigns.
In my spare time, I love to hike, ski, cook, and travel. I have completed several marathons and half-Ironman triathlons, and I am an indoor cycling instructor (Spinning(R), Coach-by-Color(R), and CPR/AED certified).
