I am an intellectually curious individual.  I am also a thorough researcher, a conscientious writer and a meticulous editor.  I excel at editing for substantive content, e.g. ensuring that arguments are logically sound and include no leaps in logic.  I hold a B.A. in Political Science and an M.S. in International Studies.  My research interests are interdisciplinary and include national and international security issues, psycho-social issues that affect minority groups, economic development and entrepreneurship.  My interdisciplinary background allows me to quickly understand a multitude of topics and research areas so that I may offer constructive criticism on works in a number of disciplines.
