At Booz Allen Hamilton, I run a portfolio of many client projects for Fortune 500 companies in finance, aerospace and aviation, healthcare and government, from the first scoping call through go-live and closeout.
I’m the primary point of contact for client executives and C-suite stakeholders, and I help build what comes next: new service lines such as AI Incident Response, plus the playbooks and executive tabletop exercises that keep clients ready before an incident, not during one.
My background is multidisciplinary, spanning intelligence, cybersecurity, law and education. I became the youngest graduate in Harvard’s history at 16, earned an MPhil from the University of Cambridge, and hold a doctorate in Strategic Security.
In 2014 I founded the Official Child Prodigies Network, which recognizes and supports exceptionally gifted young people around the world.

As a former child prodigy, I founded the network to make sure gifted young people get the recognition, support and opportunities they deserve.
