Some professional news… I spent the last few months working on the Biden-Harris Transition Team. It was an incredible and humbling experience helping to prepare an administration inheriting many dire crises. A thread.
The concept and execution of presidential transitions are just wild. You only have a few short months to get ready for “Day One.” Of course, this whirlwind is essential to American democracy and the peaceful transition of power.
I worked on a process called Agency Review, which meant by law my name and current employer were published on the internet. I was on two teams, reviewing @USDS and the Department Homeland Security, after having worked on immigration & refugee issues under Obama.
