United States Military Academy Cadet | Marshall Scholar​

I am an American Politics major with a Terrorism Studies minor at the United States Military Academy. As a Presidential Fellow in the Center for the Study of the Presidency and Congress, I research defense budgeting, and I am currently completing a study on budget reprogramming in the Department of Defense based on my novel hard-coded dataset of over 30,000 actions.

Professionally, I have interned at the White House and the Defense Intelligence Agency in addition to holding various positions in the cadet chain of command. My work has been included in the President's Daily Brief, and I have written work for the West Point Press, Infantry Journal, and for various senior defense and political officials. Outside of school, I run West Point's nationally ranked Model United Nations team which placed 2nd at Harvard WorldMUN as well as the Speech and Parliamentary Debate team.

I will continue my studies on comparative defense budgeting practices between allies at graduate school through the Marshall Scholars program. Then, I will serve as an Armor officer before transferring into military intelligence.

The current two class system of officers vs enlisted hinders unit potential. Officers are too obsessed with micromanaging everyone under them. The typical officer class person does not like the ideal of an independently thinking enlisted sniper out in the field.

Get rid of the two class rank structure. It just breeds resentment between the two.
