Hello, and welcome to my website! I am a Ph.D. student in Politics and International Affairs at the University of South Florida. My research interests include international relations and security, great-power cyber competition, and comparative authoritarianism, with a regional focus on Latin America. Before starting my Ph.D., I spent 16 years in tech, most recently as a senior quality engineering manager at a software company. I also served on active duty in the United States Army for three years.
