About

As a Sanctions and Imports Analyst at SpaceX, I apply my data analysis and regulatory compliance skills to support the company's mission of making life multiplanetary. I work with the trade compliance team to ensure that the import and export of aerospace parts and technology comply with the US and international sanctions and trade regulations. I also conduct research and analysis on the global trade environment and the risks and opportunities for SpaceX's operations and expansion.

Before joining SpaceX in November 2022, I gained valuable experience as a Financial Economist at the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, where I analyzed the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the banking sector and the financial stability of the US. I also worked as a Quality Control Assistant at Cambium Assessment, where I performed data quality checks and audits on standardized tests and assessment systems.

I hold a Master of Arts in International Commerce and Policy from George Mason University, where I specialized in Global Risk and Strategy. I also have a Bachelor of Science in Economics from American University, where I graduated with honors and became a member of the Omicron Delta Epsilon, an international honors society in economics.

I am passionate about applying my analytical skills and attention to detail to solve complex problems and contribute to the advancement of humanity. I am always eager to learn new skills and technologies, and to collaborate with diverse and talented teams. I aspire to grow as a professional and a leader in the field of international trade and commerce.
