Over the years, Ms. Htaung demonstrated her steadfast commitment to public service with the SSA as an operations supervisor, disability examiner, and regional support roles.
In the ensuing years, Ms. Htaung gained valuable professional expertise as a policy program manager for San Francisco Health Plan, through which she analyzed internal and state policies and procedures for recommendations to Executives, streamlined and built systems for policy review process, and developed the policy program. Similarly, she lent her significant skillset to Burma Inc. as a human resources and business partner consultant.
