I voted in favor of the legislation requiring the use of politically-balanced citizen commissions to realign congressional and legislative districts, and am excited to contribute to this critical part of our democratic process.
It is in the nature of my job to facilitate, promote consensus and create agreement among numerous stakeholders. As the Chief of Staff for a federal site office overseeing the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, I regularly lead projects and coordinate the execution of projects and the resolution of issues among local staff, management, contractors, union, DC-based Agency management, and external groups.
My project management and Lean Six Sigma training and practice provide a solid foundation for applying logic and reason to problems, particularly when addressing unfamiliar topic areas. I have led numerous inter-departmental process improvement teams, applying a careful approach to identifying waste, root causes, and opportunities to optimize performance and achieve project goals. These involve difficult, uncomfortable discussions among stakeholders with conflicting interests, and require me to be a firm but compassionate facilitator. I am also called upon to support business functions outside my primary capabilities, such as cybersecurity and worker safety & health. In such circumstances, I learn the new subject matter through research, compile rules and references, interview subject matter experts, and conduct observations to prepare for the tasks at hand.
