I advise institutions navigating long-term technological risk, sociopolitical uncertainty, and intergenerational responsibility—particularly where complex technical systems intersect with public trust and contested futures. Engagements may include strategic advisory support, executive-level workshops, scenario-based strategy sessions, and confidential briefings for leadership teams.

My advisory work integrates over a decade of ethnographic research with senior federal policy experience. This includes service in the U.S. Department of Energy, where I led national initiatives on nuclear waste governance, facility siting, and public engagement across politically sensitive landscapes. I work with organizations to clarify long-term stakes, surface institutional blind spots, and design governance processes capable of enduring electoral cycles, leadership turnover, and shifting public sentiment.

I collaborate with government agencies, international bodies, research institutions, foundations, and civil society organizations on issues including infrastructure deployment, environmental risk, facility siting, organizational culture, and durable institutional design.
