'Google should hire me'

Identifies as: Caucasian female, disabled

On what she'd bring to Google: "My dissertation research looked at the legislative process at the state level and the federal-state relationship. I've recently gained more experience at the multinational level. I would bring my understanding of how a major multinational company that contributes so much to the economy can be a part of the conversation as regulations are written."

On her greatest professional & academic achievements: "My most deeply satisfying career success involves hiring economists and other technical specialists at the IRS. In addition to my role as a team manager, I accepted project responsibilities for hiring initiatives during the 2008-2010 period. I had a direct role in hiring more than 50 professionals during that period, and provided support and training to many of their on-site mentors ... And, earning a Ph.D. from Brown University gives me a daily dose of calm self-confidence."

On diversity in the workplace: "I think most of the press on this Google diversity report has focused on race. Technology is advancing and can be used to help disabled people perform in the workplace with computing and mobile resources."
