Thanks for the warm welcome @stradaeducation on my first day! Excited for all we will do to help students and workers access quality education, training and jobs!

@jholston @stradaeducation Thanks so much JB! Really appreciate it!

I am very excited to be joining @stradaeducation as Chief Strategy Officer. I’ve focused my work on helping underserved workers access quality #training and #jobs and can’t think of a better place to continue that work than at Strada. See details below.

Next month, I will join @stradaeducation as its Chief Strategy Officer. I am thrilled to join an organization whose sole focus is on improving the connection between education and employment. See full announcement here: bit.ly/3SDOKrr

It's been a challenging, but fulfilling 1.5 years and I want to thank @SecRaimondo, @DepSecGraves and @AsstSecCastillo for their inspirational leadership. And to the hardest working public servants - it was an honor to be a part of the DOC and EDA team!

Last week was my last week serving in the Biden-Harris Administration as Deputy Assistant Secretary for Policy at the @CommerceGov. It truly was an opportunity of a lifetime to oversee @US_EDA's $3 billion #AmericanRescuePlan grant programs.

It was an honor to speak today at the @NationalACE Annual Conference to highlight @US_EDA’s commitment to equity and investments we have made to the #AAPI community.

Today, @POTUS announced 21 cities as the winners of the Build Back Better Regional Challenge – a signature program of the American Rescue Plan that will provide communities across the U.S. with a once-in-a-generation investment in their economic future. whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/…
