I am a Research Associate at the Cato Institute's Defense and Foreign Policy Department. In 2023, I graduated from The Bush School of Government and Public Service at Texas A&M University, where I completed a Master in International Affairs with concentrations in US Defense Policy and Military Affairs, and International Politics and Grand Strategy. I completed my undergraduate studies at the University of Central Florida with summa cum laude. I obtained double majors in International Relations and Global Studies, and History. My interests pertain to international affairs, namely in international politics, great power competition, military strategy and operations, nuclear and conventional deterrence, and military effectiveness. I hope to gain professional experience in careers and sectors pertaining to these interests, and serve the public to the best of my ability.
