For over a decade, my life literally became one disaster after the next. As a 23 yr-old, entry-level consultant, I was "volun-told" to help run an emergency loan program in Louisiana six weeks after Hurricane Katrina. I booked a one-way flight to New Orleans without a place to stay that night. It turned out to be a life-changing, decade-long journey inside FEMA, the federal government, and America itself. Join me in sharing these unique insights and experiences.
The New Four Letter F Word™
New Four Letter F Word™ is a forthcoming memoir about working inside FEMA under George W. Bush, Barack Obama and Donald Trump. From Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas after Hurricane Katrina, to New York subway tunnels and housing projects after Superstorm Sandy, I spent a decade helping communities and individuals recover from their worst day. The book presents an educational (and at times both head-scratching and entertaining) first-hand account of what it's really like working for the government managing disaster recovery efforts and trying to improve the system from within.
