Case Study
“In 2014, as part of a small team, I identified systemic gaps in port community IT and assumed the lead role in developing a Strategic Communication Plan. This work aligned closely with what later became the U.S. Department of Commerce’s ‘21st Century U.S. Port Competitiveness Initiative.’ Our efforts contributed to broader government and industry progress between 2016–2017, including best-practice frameworks and private-sector prototype development.”
