I am a PhD candidate in Politics and International Studies at the University of Cambridge, where I am the Features Editor for the Cambridge Research and International Affairs (CRIA) journal and teach undergraduate courses on international security and global politics. I hold a Master's degree in International Security from Sciences Po Paris and dual Bachelor's degrees in Criminal Justice and Economics from the University of Georgia, graduating summa cum laude. My research explores strategic defense, non-state violent behavior, and the trade of violence, with particular focus on how U.S. security cooperation shapes the market for professional soldiers. I teach professional courses in crisis management and border security at NATO's Centre for Excellence Defence Agaisnt Terrorism. I bring extensive experience from leading defense and policy organizations. As an Operations Researcher at Booz Allen Hamilton, I led teams conducting evidence-based research on foreign policy, Chinese investments in Africa, and U.S. interagency responses to international chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear (CBRN) events. I helped develop wargaming tools and created tabletop exercises for defense clients. My work has also included adjunct research at the RAND Corporation on emerging technologies and nuclear deterrence, and a Fulbright research fellowship in Colombia examining activity in the private military sector. I have contributed to NATO's Counter-Terrorism Reference Curriculum and published research in outlets including The Routledge International Handbook on Radicalisation and Social Exclusion and the Council on Foreign Relations. My expertise spans operations research, wargaming design, security cooperation assessment, and qualitative fieldwork in conflict-affected regions. I offer independent research consulting services in strategic defense analysis, non-state armed group behavior, and security policy evaluation.
