Selected Achievements

Booz Allen Hamilton, 2004 – 2012, Lead Associate

One of two primary instructors for the National Planners Course (NPC). Participated in reformatting the blocks of instruction to reduce the training period from 2 weeks to 1 week and in professionalizing the course for educational certification. Results: Trained over 1000 of Federal planners and received exceptional evaluations from the vast majority of these class members who are now using the Federal Plan Development Process (FPDP) established in IPS for strategic, operational, and tactical planning.

Trainer for the subject area of Course of Action Evaluation in the FEMA 6 Step Planning Process for the Booz Allen FEMA Planning Process Boot Camp. Results: Contributed to the training and certification of numerous Booz Allen personnel to build Booz Allen bench strength in support of FEMA planning initiatives.

Results: Contributed to the training and certification of numerous Booz Allen personnel to support CAT operations during a real-life disaster.

Assisted the Joint Engagement Coordination Office (JECO) Program Manager. Duties included developing PowerPoint training presentations, developing and capturing metrics, facilitating communication between all functional teams in support of joint engagements, and responding to Export Control overflow inquiries. Results: Produced PowerPoint training presentation to educate staff traditionally servicing commercial clients with the detailed requirements of servicing government clients in support of Booz Allen’s One Firm Evolution program. Lead the design and production of the JECO Metrics Report Access database tool and produced the first two detailed monthly JECO Metrics Reports.

Developed and implemented training and metrics while supervising a team of 10 which grew into a team of 32 for a Department of Energy (DOE) project to review over 100,000 documents to determine if they were subject to any legal protection or privilege which would prevent or limit their inclusion on the Yucca Mountain Project (YMP) Licensing Support Network (LSN) database mandated by Congress. I developed and conducted two PowerPoint based training presentations for all team members. I also developed our Policy and Procedures manual, metrics tool, metrics reports, and a Revised Concept of Operations. Results: My team completed the assignment and provided a praised metrics deliverable two weeks ahead of schedule. This training was later adopted by the law firm representing DOE in related litigation to train their attorneys and paralegals in evaluation of the documents.

Trained intelligence analysts on cutting edge software programs being developed and tested to improve the quality of their analysis, communication and/or collaboration as part of the Mobile Training Team (MTT). Became MTT’s “SEAS” analytical tool subject matter expert, which required me to significantly revise the interactive PowerPoint training presentation and Instructor’s Guide. Participated in the implementation of on-line evaluation tools to provide valuable metrics on the quality of both the software tools and the quality of the instruction. Results: The time necessary for students to functionally operate the SEAS analytical tool was reduced from one week to one day. MTT received overwhelmingly positive feedback and evaluations regarding the quality of our training, and MTT produced quantitative and qualitative metrics.
