Welcome to my website!

I am an Assistant Professor in the History, Global & Political Studies Department at Taylor University. I received my B.A. from Baylor University, my M.A. from University of Texas at Dallas, and my Ph.D. from the University of North Texas.

My research interests focus on foreign policy analysis, political economy, and security studies. I examine how leaders shape and respond to economic challenges, the strategic role of public diplomacy during conflicts, and the broader economic influence of foreign capital in developing countries.
