- “My four priorities, my four careers—nonprofit, military, academic and the private sector—provide me the opportunity to use what I've learned academically from Washington College and then at the Geneva Graduate Institute. Those four very different things are all connected through my interdisciplinary past, kickstarted at Washington College, which laid the foundation to have these different outlets in these different sectors. In the end, the skills and know-how is the same for each one. The only difference is how the information that I can provide and the skills I can provide are being used.”
