I joined the Department of State in 2011. I am a Public Diplomacy Coned Officer who served in Brazil, Belize, Cuba, Jordan and Tel Aviv. I currently work in Islamabad, Pakistan, managing the largest alumni portfolio in the world. I will join US Embassy Warsaw as the Cultural Attache in 2022, after a year of Polish language training. I speak Spanish, Portuguese, Hebrew and Arabic.
