My interest is in foreign policy, history, research and analysis, logistics, and cultural diplomacy. With this interest, I chose to pursue a graduate degree in international security at the Josef Korbel School of International Studies. Through this program I have also pursued specializations in Foreign Policy, European Affairs and Conflict Resolution.My background is primarily based in research, analysis, writing, and program management. I have worked in both the private and public sectors, most recently with the U.S. Department of Commerce and the U.S. Department of State. Through my education and work experiences I have developed and demonstrated strong research capabilities, exemplary analysis work, sound project management skills, and precise writing of reports of various lengths, memos, talking points and cables.
