DoD IAC Research Analyst
I am delighted to be back working to advance the DoD IAC mission. I supported the HDIAC Basic Center of Operations from 2017 to 2019, where I also served as research lead on two Specialized Task Orders for the U.S. Special Operations Command and the Army Combat Capabilities Development Command Soldier Center.
