  • Coordinate within CL&S to ensure optimal cross-functional integration of key security policy issues (physical, personnel, industrial, and information security), mitigating threats and managing risk (participation in approximately 15 meetings/working groups annually).
  • Advise the Director, Insider Threat & Personnel Security, and other senior DoD leadership on potential issues affecting DoD personnel and security policy and oversight (approximately 15 recommendations annually).
  • Conduct research on laws, regulations, Executive Orders, Federal and DoD policies (approximately 15 projects annually), producing research papers (with associated visual briefing materials) that are grammatically and typographically error-free.
