ACCOMPLISHMENTS
Due to the challenges of the number of wounded, ill & injured service members recovering at national military
treatment centers along with the shortage of trained caregivers, transition coordinators, recovery care
coordinators and nurse case managers, I have developed an effective onsite recruitment strategy where I
streamlined security clearance processing and revamped the way warriors were vetted and placed within the
IC. Through the IC WW Internship Program’s working group meetings, I share best practices to assist other
agencies in developing a more effective program. Because of these changes and through targeted National
recruitment efforts, the WW intern participation levels for the IC have increased by 30% and permanent
employment has increased by 40%. The IC WW Internship Program has now been recognized by OSD as the
best place for wounded warriors to intern and gain possible permanent employment, effectively integrating
disabled veterans into the federal workforce.

support the WW program. Used the full range of MS Office, including Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Outlook.
OUTREACH AND RECRUITMENT
Leading the Agency's recruitment and outreach efforts, I worked closely with DIA senior leaders to drive
recruitment strategies, prioritized team resources, and managed performance metrics to achieve hiring goals.
Supervised wounded warrior team in efforts to recruit, clear and place interns within the organization utilizing
uniquely effective recruitment strategies.
SECURITY PROCESSING AND REPORTING
Was responsible for the security pre-screening, recruitment, placement, mentoring and eventual hiring of one
of the largest wounded warrior programs in the intelligence community. Coordinated with and assisted other
Intelligence Community Agencies as a subject matter expert in wounded warrior and veteran recruitment and
process improvements for the initiation of Top Secret Clearance requests.
COMMUNICATION (ORAL AND WRITTEN)
Prepared written narrative, policies, procedures, Staff Summary Sheets (SSS) for staff packages and
recommendations; attended meetings in and outside of DIA coordinating DIA and the IC WWP Outreach
Recruitment events along with the IC WWP managers’ monthly meetings; and conducted briefings. Spent an
enormous amount of time collaborating with internal and external stakeholders to advance DIA’s mission by
increasing the numbers for persons with disabilities. Provided timely, accurate and professional responses to
wounded warriors, HR staff and managers in the areas of recruitment, placement, position management, pay
administration, employee relations, individual development plans, and employee services. Reviewed and/or
edited SSSs, Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), OPM Regulations and policy revisions to give
recommendations and commentary in the impact of DIA’s mission and goals.
ACCOMPLISHMENTS
Even though DIA had a large number of facilities, 110 locations worldwide, there were only 2 wounded warrior
interns assigned because we had a bad reputation among the wounded warrior population due to a poor track
record in getting warriors processed. As a new DIA employee, I came in and did an evaluation of the program
and its policy and found it did not effectively address the program key components of Security, Human
Resources processing and Workplace Accommodations. As a new hire for Recruitment and Outreach, I was
asked to revamp and invigorate the DIA WW Internship Program because they wanted to have the best
program in the IC and they wanted to become the Executive Agent for the Intelligence Community Wounded
Warrior Program. I worked closely with DIA’s security, our HR points of contact and senior level leaders to
revamp and re-launch the DIA program by briefing DIA leadership on the changes needed to make the
necessary changes. I received agency approval so I developed a new security screening and processes to
change our outreach, maintaining a weekly presence at area military treatment facilities. As a result of the
hard work and diligence with the program, the program numbers quadrupled within 6 months and DIA
improved from one of the smallest programs in the Intelligence Community to the largest program within a 12
month period. In July 2014, DIA was nominated as Executive Agent for the Intelligence Community Wounded
Warrior Internship Program and I was appointed the Program Manager.

in their job search, facilitating hundreds of permanent employment opportunities for wounded warriors after

ensure alignment with organizational goals and objectives. Screened and processed wounded warriors for TS
clearances and Counter Intelligence polygraphs required for internship opportunities.
ACCOMPLISHMENTS
The conflict in Iraq and Afghanistan caused the number of recovering Service members to rise to over 10,000
and ODNI’s WW program goal was to increase the WW program awareness and participation across the 17
members of the IC. As the ODNI IC WW Program Coordinator, I was challenged to increase the number of
wounded, ill or injured service members who were seeking nationwide internship opportunities. Since the
Intelligence Community offered internship opportunities that were preferred by wounded warriors, we were
asked to see if we could facilitate a larger number of internships nationally. The program intern opportunities
had been focused primarily in the Washington DC area; however, the increased numbers of warriors were
spreading nationally. After a careful evaluation of our overall operations, I immediately started identifying the
national locations that the IC could support, worked with the Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD)
Operation Warfighter Program and the military service components warrior internship program offices (Navy
Safe Harbor, Air Force WW Program, The Army WW Transition Command and USMC Wounded Warrior
Regiment) to create a streamlined process. We were able to set up a more robust, national program with a
10% increase in participation initially and then a new model was established where internships would be
facilitated for warriors who lived within 50 miles of an Intelligence Community facility. Working closely with our
IC WW Program Managers and the Operation Warfighter Regional Coordinators, the number of security
clearance submission requests, internships and permanent employment opportunities for wounded warriors
increased. The Intelligence Community Program was recognized by OSD as the top program for wounded
warrior internships and eventual employment and the IC received the Intelligence Community Award for
Program Excellence.
