Hi, I’m Alex. Welcome to my website!
I work at the Institute of International Education. I use this blog to post some thoughts about pressing foreign policy and national security challenges facing the United States. I hold an MA in International Affairs, concentrating in nuclear policy, from George Washington University. In my spare time, I enjoy reading about history and Russia/former Soviet states. I’m currently reading The Evolution of Nuclear Strategy by Lawrence Freedman and Jeffrey Michaels. I also enjoy hiking, skiing, and playing the euphonium/baritone.
