I’m a Mid-level Open-Source Analyst with three years of industry experience gathering intelligence on different cultures and countries, monitoring social media, and presenting a variety of executive-protection threat prevention strategies. My specialty is time-based physical threat assessments, identifying suspects using advanced OSINT research skills. I have solidified an analytical professional writing style tailored to deliver succinct argumentative summaries for the intelligence community. I can analyze social sites in English and German.► EDUCATIONRaised in a law enforcement family, I became fascinated with security intelligence by listening to my father share insights in his field of U.S. intelligence.
