While this portfolio was a product on my final course in my Master's of Arts degree in International Security Studies from the University of Arizona, I have decided to keep it updated with new research and writings that I complete. I personally think it will be beneficial to my career to keep highlights on my website of research papers or blog posts I have written about contemporary topics in the national and international security realm. This portfolio does include essays which I completed during my undergraduate and graduate courses, as well as some new products. (These can be found throughout the

website-- mainly in the writing samples tab.)  Please do not hesitate to reach out if you have any questions about anything found throughout my personal portfolio.
