Pursuing a Master's in Artificial Intelligence Management and Policy at Purdue University, focusing on applying AI technologies—such as large language models (LLMs), natural language processing (NLP), and machine learning—to solve complex policy and management challenges. I hold a bachelor's degree in agricultural economics with a minor in economics from Texas A&M University, where I developed a strong foundation in data-driven decision-making, risk management, and analytical thinking. As a U.S. Army infantry veteran, I bring leadership, operational security expertise, and adaptability to dynamic environments, complementing my academic and professional pursuits. My experience bridges technology, policy, and real-world operations with a passion for exploring AI's ethical and strategic integration into business, cybersecurity, and defense frameworks.
