Revolutionizing the future of energy and innovative tech solutions with strategic engagement expertise.
I am a strategic engagement leader with over 10 years of experience advancing energy and infrastructure priorities through bipartisan coalition building. Currently serving as Congressional Liaison at the U.S. Department of Energy, I manage a $1.5B+ portfolio and drive critical policy initiatives through stakeholder engagement.
Previously at Virgin Hyperloop, I led global policy and partnerships that secured groundbreaking regulatory frameworks and $90M+ in funding. My experience spans energy policy, emerging technology, and sustainable infrastructure development across North America and MENA regions.
I hold a Master of Science in Foreign Service from Georgetown University, focusing on the intersection of technology policy and international relations. I am passionate about driving innovation in energy and sustainable mobility through effective stakeholder collaboration and policy advancement.
