I am a second year PhD student in Software Engineering at the Institute for Software Research in the School of Computer Science at Carnegie Mellon University. I am co-advised by Bill Scherlis and Jonathan Aldrich. My research interests fall within the scope of security, semantics-based methods, evidence-based software assurance, multi-faceted software defense strategies, and techniques for preventing software vulnerabilities.

I attended the University of Portland for two years before transferring to Washington State University (obligatory GO COUGS!) where I graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering in 2010. I worked for The Boeing Company for just over three years as a Security Engineer. Part of my time at Boeing overlapped with my time at WSU.
