I am a Government Affairs Advisor who spent the last seven and a half years at the Florida Department of Management Services, as Deputy Secretary of Business Operations for the last four years. I was responsible for building construction and maintenance, procurement and contracts, telecommunications, private prisons, fleet operations and more, overseeing roughly 400 employees. Previously, I served as Press Secretary at the Florida Department of Environmental Protection. As a Government Affairs Advisor, I counsel and advocate for clients interested in interacting with government, whether to the Executive or Legislative branches.
