I am a PhD candidate in the Tandy School of Computer Science at the University of Tulsa. I work in the Security Economics Laboratory advised by Prof. Tyler Moore. My research focuses on measuring the effects of cybercrime on cryptocurrencies.

I received an MS in CS at the University of Tulsa in 2017. I received a BS from the University of North Texas in 2013 with a major in computer science and a minor in business management.
