I am a recent graduate of the Patterson School of Diplomacy (MA, Security) and Rhodes College (BA, International Studies) and the intern for the Association of State Dam Safety Officials, a position I began in May of 2018. I have worked on a number of projects, including creating the public safety at dams materials for the ASDSO website, assisting in building the ASDSO reference database, and updating the ASDSO Summary of State Laws and Regulations on Dam Safety. I am also a contributor and opinion editor for the Patterson Journal of International Affairs, where I cover topics relating to cybersecurity, hydrodiplomacy and industrial development.
