Message

At U.S. Embassy Majuro, I delivered weekly demarches to senior Republic of the Marshall Islands officials and drafted cable responses for transmission to Washington. I also prepared internal reporting and engaged with U.S. government agencies, international organizations, and implementing partners on infrastructure, energy, and development priorities.

At the U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Intelligence and Research, I conducted open-source research on China and Indo-Pacific developments and drafted analysis for senior policy audiences. My experience also includes credit-risk research at Bankwell Financial Services and digital project coordination at BayWa r.e.
