I graduated from Johns Hopkins SAIS with an MA in International Relations, with focus areas in Asia, security, and technology. In this time I realized that my true interests were at the intersection of technology and security, specifically within the domains of cybersecurity, threat intelligence, and business. Since graduating, I've sought to boost my credentials by obtaining the CompTIA security+ Certification and completing practical lab projects. In my free time, I love to read about current events around the world. When I have the opportunity, I also enjoy traveling with friends and family, especially to places with cultures different from my own. I love learning about other peoples' stories, seeking to understand them and their unique cultural and social perspectives. In 2018 I was fortunate to study language and politics at the Minzu University of Beijing. I have also fallen in love with the Alps and Tyrollean culture while studying in Europe! My greatest strengths are that I can research anything with great pace and meticulousness, and am always eager to learn new skills. At the end of the day, I am driven by natural curiosity and a desire for the team to succeed.
