About Me

I work as a co-product manager and consultant in the realm of international trade, with a focus on ocean trade for a company in economic consulting. My current responsibilities include balancing between data analysis of large chunks of data, editing and content management of trade publications, writing technical documentation for my product, and supporting clients in use of the database.

In my free time, I blog at vickiboykis.com about a number of topics that I am passionate about, including international relations and economics, Russian affairs, Jewish/Israel affairs, and my life in DC, the most exciting city in the world. I am also a freelance writer.
