I am currently a Visiting Researcher at the Center for Policy Research at the University of Albany and an adjunct lecturer at Santa Clara University. I received my PhD from Northeastern University in 2019, a MA in International Relations from the University of San Diego in 2013, and my BA in 2010. My work examines terrorism and transnational organized crime, and other projects include work on insurgency and special operations forces, with regional expertise in Latin America and the Horn of Africa.
