I am a current student at Coastal Carolina University, majoring in Intelligence and National Security with a minor in International Business. I plan on pursuing a Master’s degree in National Security Affairs after achieving my undergrad. I possess a strong interest in our nation's national security and am driven to complete my studies and advance my career in the workforce. My undergrad has helped provide me with a vast amount of knowledge and critical thinking skills that both work to help improve and prepare me for agency work in the field. I have also been participating in internships through my school that have allowed me to work with and brief specific agencies on real-world topics. These opportunities have given me vital glimpses into the world of national security and strong connections to agencies. Both my studies and interactions with agencies and agents in the field have helped me develop key skills and connections, as well as a keen interest and respect for the national security community that I feel excited to further explore.
