I am an active duty U.S. Army officer currently assigned to the Pentagon, with over a decade of experience in national security, strategy, and defense policy. I hold two master's degrees — one in National Security Studies and one in Public Policy — and a Bachelor of Arts in History. My graduate thesis examined the strategic and diplomatic dimensions of a high-profile U.S. foreign policy decision, requiring me to synthesize complex primary sources, government documents, and academic literature into a clear, well-argued analysis. That experience sharpened my ability to break down difficult material and communicate it precisely, which is exactly what I bring to every tutoring session.
Throughout my military career, I have mentored junior officers and soldiers through professional development, helping them strengthen their analytical writing, critical thinking, and verbal reasoning — skills that directly map to test preparation and academic success. I work best one-on-one, starting by diagnosing where a student is struggling, building a structured plan around their specific needs, and holding them accountable to measurable progress. I work with college and graduate students on GRE prep, academic writing, and political science and international relations coursework, and with middle and high school students on history and government.
Beyond academics, I am a former Division I college football player with a deep background in fitness and nutrition. I am available to work with young athletes on football fundamentals, strength and conditioning, and building healthy habits around training and diet. I believe the discipline that drives success on the field translates directly into the classroom, and I enjoy helping students and athletes develop both.
