EXPERIENCE:

Program Analyst -	U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Office of Enforcement and Compliance Assurance (OECA), Washington, DC (1987-Present)

In my position, I help manage the national EPA Superfund (SF) enforcement program. I ensure that the EPA Strategic Plan and program priorities are communicated and implemented. In this program management capacity I take broad EPA environmental goals, synthesize them into clear management guidance, use precise program management methodologies and the latest information technology (IT) to set specific program target and accomplish objectives. Inversely, I take very complex technical information reported by the EPA regions, distill essential data, and prepare and present clear and concise synopses and decision options (if necessary) to senior EPA management. I work with other EPA national program offices and regional enforcement contacts to plan, target, and measure program progress. Annually, I lead sessions with the regions to plan out-year budgeting, set program targeting, and to estimate anticipated accomplishments. I have been active in implementing a number of new Superfund initiatives and reforms. I routinely recognize and resolve outstanding programmatic problems.

I constantly oversee, maintain, and modernize enforcement program IT systems and reporting. I also oversee and verify the work of contractors who maintain and update the program IT systems and software. The information I disseminate is used by: the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), Congress/GAO (General Accountability Office), the Office of the Inspector General (OIG), legal and accounting firms, academic researchers, the press, and the general public. I analyze program data for historical trends and to shape future program options and outcomes. I serve and have served in a wide variety of workgroups and teams, and I have mentored new staff. Most recently I have led IT training for staff. I am a strong team player, and lead “from the front.”

Management Analyst - U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Assistant Chief of Engineers (ACE), The Pentagon, Washington, DC (1984-1985). Top Secret clearance. I was responsible for overseeing office automation and the establishment of a basic (by today’s standards) local area network (LAN) for the ACE. I also handled budget, security, and administrative services.

Correspondence Analyst - U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), Washington, DC (1982-1984). I responded to issues and correspondence addressed to the Secretary of HUD. I wrote letters for the Secretary’s personal signature.

Correspondence Analyst – The White House, Washington, DC (1980-1981). I read and responded to letters to the President of the United States. Awarded the Presidential Award for Meritorious Service.

Claims Examiner – U.S. Department of Labor, Washington, DC (1979-1980). I reviewed case evidence and made preliminary determinations in hearing loss disability claims for federal employees.
