Biography
I am a researcher at the German Marshall Fund's Alliance for Securing Democracy. I pitch, write, and edit stories on cybersecurity, disinformation, and election security for a weekly newsletter, the Securing Democracy Dispatch. I also draft weekly reports on trends in Russian propaganda. I've published articles on cybersecurity, information operations, and legislative developments in a range of outlets, including the National Interest, the Dallas Morning News, and blogs for the German Marshall Fund, Chatham House, and the Atlantic Council.
