With nearly 15 years of public service and an abiding focus on Mission, I have built my career enhancing national security through meticulous research, policy analysis, and risk assessments, particularly in East Asia and Africa. My competencies in quantitative and qualitative evaluation, paired with my ability to navigate complex bureaucratic landscapes, give me the experience to pursue the biggest goals in the highest-stakes situations. My current work is founded on my ability to gather and synthesize information on the full gamut of geopolitical risks and turn that information into actionable insights for US policymakers. I build partnerships and coordinate with various government agencies and the private sector to address national security threats of all types. My background in academia has honed my public speaking, presentation, and training abilities and enabled me to effectively consult with policy leaders both foreign and domestic to safeguard our nation's interests.
