She previously held several leadership positions in FSIS’s Office of the Administrator, including COO and chief of staff. She will continue to be acting deputy under secretary for food safety until a replacement has been confirmed by the Senate.

Previously, he held a number of positions within FSIS, including district manager, executive associate for regulatory operations and deputy assistant administrator for the FSIS Office of Field Operations.
