She brings more than 25 years of military and federal government experience in the U.S. Intelligence Community, with expertise in intelligence analysis, interagency collaboration, strategic management, national security decision-making, and organizational leadership.

Stromer began her intelligence career as a U.S. Army All-Source Intelligence Analyst and later served in a variety of increasingly senior positions within the federal Intelligence Community. Her career included senior leadership assignments at the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI), where she supported and led efforts involving intelligence integration, executive and legislative engagement, strategic planning, resource priorities, and complex national security issues. Among her leadership assignments, she served as Deputy National Intelligence Manager for Narcotics and Transnational Crime and as Chief of Staff supporting the National Intelligence Council.

Her professional interests focus on the institutions, people, and organizational dynamics that shape intelligence in a democratic society, including interagency collaboration, intelligence integration, leadership, analytic effectiveness, and the relationship between intelligence organizations and national security policymakers. She draws extensively on her practitioner experience to help students connect intelligence theory and institutional structures with the realities of intelligence work and decision-making.
