My recent work in Cuba includes leading operations for Google’s local internet connectivity efforts on the island, where I was able to observe Cuban politics from close range and at the highest levels of government. I researched and wrote about Cuba at Harvard, and I continue to lead educational trips to Havana for current students.

I did my undergraduate work at Brigham Young University and received a Master in Public Policy from Harvard’s John F. Kennedy School of Government.

I am not paid by any of the companies or organizations that I write about.
