Johnathan’s Transitioning from the Military Qualifications

Experience level: Manager

I help professionals navigate career transitions by bringing together their work experience, personal journey, and future ambitions into a clear and compelling narrative—whether for admissions committees or prospective employers. This is particularly valuable if you’re seeking to pivot into the policy, national security, or defense technology space, or if you’re preparing to pursue graduate school as part of your next chapter. I earned my Master’s in Public Affairs, with a certificate in Science, Technology, and Environmental Policy, from Princeton’s School of Public and International Affairs while serving in the military. My professional background spans finance, the military, policy, government, social entrepreneurship, and technology. I’ve also published widely on policy and technology across a dozen outlets and was recognized with a literary award in my field. If you want to align your background and values into a cohesive story—whether for an admissions panel or for new opportunities in policy, national security, or defense technology—I’d be glad to set up an introductory call to learn more about your goals.
