Because of my expertise, I was assigned as a Foreign Service Officer in a
hard-to-fill position at the U.S. Embassy in New Delhi. I was in charge of
American Citizens Services, assisting U.S. citizens living and traveling in

India. I visited Americans in hospitals and arranged medical evacuations and
repatriation of destitute U.S. citizens home. With a number of crises going on,
I prepared readiness plans for the thousands of Americans living in India
needing to be evacuated in case of natural or civil disasters.

Following that tour, I served at the U.S. Consulate in Chennai, India as Chief
of the Non-immigrant Visa Unit, adjudicating thousands of temporary visas

for Indians coming to the United States for work or visits. After returning to
Washington, I handled intercountry adoption issues and prepared public
outreach materials for the U.S. accession to the Hague Adoption Convention.

My final overseas tour was as Consular Chief at the U.S. Embassy in
Georgetown, Guyana, overseeing all consular and visa services. I ended my
career working again on adoption issues, and received an award for public

outreach following the 2010 earthquake in Haiti.

President of Washington, D.C. I earned my Bachelor of Science in Agriculture

Agronomy from Arkansas AM&N College, Pine Bluff, Arkansas, and
