Events

I organized 45 public events at CSIS between 2017-2024, featuring U.S. politicians, senior military officers, and academics, as well as numerous private workshops and engagements. At Johns Hopkins SAIS, I was a student planner for the 2024 International Staff Ride focused on the Battle of Britain, leading a group of 50 students, professors, and university donors through Brussels, Dunkirk, Dover, and London. At Tufts, I organized a two-day diplomacy exercise on the future of Syria, with 225 high school students participating.

I'm also an educational wargamer. At RAND, I co-developed a tabletop exercise on the Golden Dome initiative for U.S. homeland missile defense to explore U.S. architecture options and potential adversary counteractions. At CSIS, I co-developed 15 full-day nuclear crisis simulations in collaboration with the Los Alamos National Laboratory. At Johns Hopkins SAIS, I completed my M.A. capstone on early nuclear wargames (1958-1962), finding that elite education, rather than direct policy effect, was the primary objective and success of these games.
