Technology & national security policy

I’m a policy professional with experience at the U.S. Department of Defense, MITRE, and Harvard’s Belfer Center. My work spans cyber policy, technology competition, and digital governance.

Most recently, I served as Special Assistant to the Under Secretary of Defense for Policy. Previously, I worked in cyber policy at DoD and as an analytic systems engineer at MITRE.

I hold a Master in Public Policy from Harvard Kennedy School and a bachelor’s degree in foreign service from Georgetown University. I’m Danish-American and grew up in South Africa, Denmark, Belgium, Israel, and the United States. I speak Danish, French, and Spanish.
