Is the United States Playing Fair in Trade?
I have worked at the United Nations, U.S. Department of State, U.S. Agency for International Development, and U.S. Library of Congress. My experience includes interpreting national and international legislation, building capacity of governments, training, research and designing/assessing customs and trade projects on various assignments including those for the European Union, the World Bank, and the Asian Development Bank. My work has taken me to 48 countries. This includes work in custom administrations in Ethiopia (2018-2019), Ghana, Bangladesh, Zambia, as well as teaching at a Customs Academy and various Foreign Service Institutes (e.g., Ghana, United States, Philippines). In July 2019, I started my own company, Customs and Border Management Services LLC.   I attended the Knowledge Academy at the World Customs Organization in Brussels (2019), studied international trade law at Sydney Law School, have a doctorate from England (international trade), and master degrees from Columbia University (International Affairs) and the University of Minnesota (Economics).
