Bio


An accomplished U.S. Air Force Captain and PhD student at Stanford University, I bring over eight years of leadership and expertise in defense acquisitions, cybersecurity, and emerging technology. I have directed critical initiatives to fortify multi-billion-dollar programs and helped pioneer the development of the first operational electronic warfare wing. My academic and professional journeys intersect at the critical nexus of technology, security, and international relations. I am passionate about fostering international cooperation and building bridges between technology and policy to secure a safer global environment.
