“Topics like cyber threats, AI and the role of tech in global conflicts really grabbed my attention. It made me see security in a whole new light—not just about military power or borders, but also about how digital tools and innovations are influencing everything from diplomacy to warfare. Georgetown helped me expand my thinking and consider how technology will play a huge role in future security strategies.”
