"I was recruited by SeKON Enterprise in 2017 to become a Senior Communications Specialist for a project with the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) to work with the CIO and other IT leadership to establish common standards in communication, culture, procedures, and measurement within the CMS Office of Information Technology. I helped to create a communications strategy to better engage the 500-person division, managed their internal newsletter, and created a series of instructional videos with their Section 508 Program Team... In 2019, I began working with the Content Management Team  for the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) at the National Institutes of Health (NIH), whose main campus is shown above... Established in 1996, SeKON is a privately held management and technology consultancy based in the Washington, DC Metropolitan Area, listed on Inc.’s annual guide to the 5,000 fastest-growing privately held companies in the U.S. (2017 and 2018) and on the Washington Business Journal’s list of the fastest growing regional companies (2017 and 2018). We have a successful history of providing support to government health and human resource agencies, like the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (PBGC), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the Defense Health Agency (DHA), and the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) and others, in addition to CMS and NIH."

‏"When asked to be the videographer and editor for Mary Washington's first campaign video, I was honored to offer my talents. I had met Mary several years before through her work in my neighborhood and throughout Baltimore, and the video helped her 2010 campaign to reach more constituents on her way to winning a seat in the House of Delegates for Maryland's 43rd district. In 2018 she was elected State Senator."

‏"I once considered teaching as a career, and every summer during my college years I was a counselor to elementary school students at one of the city-sponsored reading camps. The camp at Margaret Brent Elementary School (now Margaret Elementary/Middle School) in Charles Village was the city's only ESL (English as a Second Language) summer program, welcoming children from Southeast Asia, the Middle East and beyond... It was here where I fell in love with the Charles Village neighborhood and later lived across the street from the school for 10 years."
