Bio

As a senior executive and Associate Director at U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, Immigration Records and Identity Services (IRIS) Directorate, I manage four divisions: Biometrics, Verification (E-Verify and SAVE Programs), Records, and the National Records Center. IRIS' mission is to provide timely and accurate immigration and employment information to trusted entities. I lead almost 1,000 federal employees and manage an annual program budget of ~$375 million. Much of the government can function like a business and I challenge my team to think creatively about how IRIS can continuously enhance operational, customer, and employee efficiency and effectiveness. Change what drives you nuts!
