"I completed my undergraduate at Virginia Tech, earning a B.A. in National Security and Foreign Affairs with a minor in Chinese. I was a member of the Virginia Tech Corps of Cadets, my leadership experience including positions of executive officer and first sergeant, in which I mentored cadets and managed company operations. I gained hands-on experience in diplomacy and intelligence through my work with the U.S. Embassy, the Institute of World Politics, and as a VT representative at the ODNI Intelligence & National Security Seminar. I have achieved advanced proficiency in both French and Chinese."
