Looking forward to building on this work evaluating H2F's impact on the Army

Very honored to have been selected as one of Old Dominion University's top 40 under 40.
I completed a BA in Economics with a minor in Applied Math in 2010, MBA in 2013 and a MA in Economics in 2013.
I can't be more grateful for my time at ODU and the preparation it gave me for a PhD and my career
