Academic and Personal Development

Responsibilities

I provide legal advice and counsel to my command on such administrative law issues as ethics, policy writing, regulation interpretation and application, and investigations.

Why Olin?

The federal government provided me with the opportunity to develop my leadership skills, and I was especially impressed with the program Olin offered in conjunction with the Brookings Institution, leading to a Certificate in Public Leadership. Best of all, by being encouraging and welcoming, approachable and responsive, the faculty supported my academic and personal development.

Favorite Course

Inside Congress was exceptional. An impressive roster of presenters from all sides of the legislative process provided us with an in-depth, behind-the-scenes look at Congress. It’s something that I never would have gotten anywhere else. The courses in government leadership were excellent and covered the subject from every angle.
