As a Surface Warfare Officer in the US Navy, I led and managed a diverse team of sailors and officers over a period of four years. I have a BA in Political Science and Government from University of Virginia, where I developed my analytical and critical thinking skills. I also have served on multiple political campaigns, rising to deputy campaign manager and personal assistant for a member of the United States House of Representatives. I currently work as a Defense Mission Expert, Associate for Booz Allen Hamilton. I am passionate about serving my country, protecting its interests, and advancing its values and goals.
