About

I’m exemplary in cultural analysis using Psychocultural, IPA, Critical, and other qualitative research methods; thereby possessing skills to apply as a Target, Counterintelligence, or Counterterrorism Analyst or an Analytical Researcher and/or Terrorism Analyst to analyze foreign or domestic terroristic behaviors, according to culture & cultural identity. Also, Foreign Political Leader decision-making analysis, according to conceptual and contextual cultural characteristics and using strategic and cultural strategies within the analysis. Furthermore, skills include researching and analyzing state and non-state actors and terrorist networks. Evaluation skills allow me to place into operation how to prevent a State from failing with emphasis on nation-building after war or conflict, according to the cultural needs of all stakeholders. Presenting Red Analyses to an intelligence consumer to provide vital information about threats to the United States National Security is of great interest as well. I can plan, evaluate, and assist in nation-building with the understanding of security studies. I am loyal, determined, honest, and dedicated. Lastly, I can assess a bureaucracy from the top down or any organization that requires an evaluation for restructuring and diversity analysis. All is accomplished by understanding diversity, cultural identities, values and beliefs, multi-ethnic/racial sensitivity, known interpretations, perceptions, and the knowledge of non-Western communities, cultures, societies, and organizational cultures. Thereby, an employer will receive an employee who acquires cultural intelligence, cultural psychology, cultural analysis, cross-cultural analysis, strategic culture, and cultural strategy. My doctorate in International Psychology with a concentration in Organizational Leadership has granted me with a plethora of skills and knowledge that are globally diverse, in which the employer will acquire an asset that adapts to cultural and societal changes and needs, as well as adapting to the cultural and ideological differences of the enemy. The skills acquired are as diverse and adaptable as cultures change within the global sphere. Thus, the skills gained are as fluid as cultures, communities, and societal changes.

Goals and interests

Career goal

Hoping to work for my country to understand not only terroristic behavior, according to culture, but to assist in preventing and/or stoping a terrorist attack. Thus, counterintelligence, counterterrorism, or target analysis is the beginning of my path (I think); while also acquiring the ability to analyze foreign leader decision making, according to culture, and nation building along with other evaluation skills. Then hopefully, after using the plethora of my abilities to enter into the world of intelligence, my ultimate goal is to one day become a national security advisor to any president that will honor me to fill such a position.

Graduate school interests
