Data Governance & Privacy Leader | Research & Analytics
I’m a data, research, and analytics leader with 20+ years of experience overseeing large-scale, complex data efforts, advancing privacy and security practices, and ensuring compliance with evolving data governance and regulatory frameworks.
At the Social Security Administration (SSA), I managed multi-million-dollar data initiatives and coordinated multi-agency data exchanges involving over 1 billion records annually, ensuring accuracy, security, and compliance. My work strengthened data governance, data management, and data stewardship across SSA’s federal statistical unit and research offices, advanced cross-agency collaboration, and informed critical decision-making across the federal government.
I excel at bridging legal, technical, analytical, and operational perspectives — turning insights and policy into practice, resolving complex data challenges, and developing viable data governance and privacy strategies for all stakeholders. I focus on enabling teams to use data confidently, effectively, and ethically.
I’m passionate about collaborative problem-solving and leveraging the talents and expertise of diverse professionals to achieve more together. My mission is to empower organizations to unlock the power of data — responsibly — to drive meaningful impact.
I am actively seeking opportunities in data governance, privacy, and broader compliance functions.
