I am a former psychological operations officer in the United States Army. I was based at Fort Liberty (recently renamed Fort Bragg) in North Carolina and completed multiple deployments throughout the Middle East.

As a psychological operations officer, I led small teams abroad to develop culturally relevant solutions to complex problems.

I am a member of the Apex, North Carolina, chapter of Toastmasters International, a nonprofit educational organization that builds confidence and teaches public speaking skills. I also serve on the usher and security team at Vertical Life Church in Holly Springs, North Carolina.

I earned a bachelor’s degree in marketing from Washington State University and a master’s degree in entrepreneurship from Oklahoma State University. In my free time, I enjoy watching outdoor sporting events with friends, taking road trips to the Carolina coast, and jogging through my neighborhood with my dog, Sampson.
