I am an accomplished, impact-oriented professional who has helped tackle complex national security problems in South Asia for the last 15 years. I have years of experience in the U.S. intelligence and foreign policy communities, and my expertise lies in counterterrorism and counterinsurgency. I spent over a decade as an intelligence analyst with the Department of Defense and several years as a Foreign Affairs Officer with the Department of State. My professional experiences have made me a patient and reliable problem solver. I have a JD from the University of Richmond School of Law and a BA in history from Hampden Sydney College.
