I am a defense and armed conflict researcher who integrates rigorous methodological skills with applied policy analysis. I work with government agencies and policymakers to translate research into actionable policy outcomes. Drawing on my experiences at the U.S. Department of Defense, the House Armed Services Committee, and leading international research institutions, I bridge academic research and policy practice to offer creative approaches to research questions and policy evaluation. I provide research and advisory services on issues related to national security and international armed conflicts, with specialization in military personnel and readiness, including leadership, training, and combat motivation. I have a proven record of developing and executing complex research projects, providing clients with expertise in research design, data collection and management, analysis, and publication.
