In the 2016 campaign cycle he served as the Foreign Policy Director to a U.S. presidential candidate, drafting speeches and Op-Eds placed in national media outlets. From 2011-2014 he served as a Senior Legislative Assistant to a prominent U.S. Congressman, drafting and editing official correspondence and Op-Eds published in The New York Times, The Washington Post, and CNN.
