I began my career in 2005 and have since specialized in international relations and national security, with a particular focus on the impact of artificial intelligence on these fields. I had the opportunity to intern at the White House under the current Secretary of State, Tony Blinken, where I gained invaluable experience and insight into U.S. policy-making at the highest levels.

Throughout my career, I have been fortunate to have outstanding mentors, including Stanford's Larry Diamond, Harvard's Professor Linda Bilmes, and Yale's Donald Kagan, who have significantly shaped my understanding of global affairs and strategy.

My experience in information operations began in 2015, with a qualification course completed in 2017. I further developed my expertise through advanced programs such as the Strategic Studies Graduate certification in 2018 and the joint planning certification in 2019. In 2023, I graduated from several leadership programs, including the Executive Life Cycle Leadership Course at UNC-Chapel Hill, and represented the Army at the Near East South Asia Center’s Senior Executive Seminar.

I hold a Master of Business Administration (MBA) from Texas A&M University (2009), a Master’s degree in International Relations with a focus on National Security from Saint Mary’s University (2011), and a Master of Public Administration (MPA) from Harvard University (2018). I am currently pursuing a Ph.D. at King’s College London, researching the impact of artificial intelligence on warfare.

Throughout my career, I have served in various strategic roles, including deployments to Iraq, Kuwait, East Africa, the Middle East, and Italy. I served as a battalion commander from 2022 to 2024. My expertise includes cybersecurity, open-source intelligence, and developing strategies to address emerging global threats.
