Welcome to my academic site. I am a Doctor of Law and Policy (D.L.P.) candidate at Liberty University’s Helms School of Government, researching the intersection of international law, corporate compliance, and artificial intelligence governance.
My doctoral work focuses on the challenges of the transatlantic regulatory environment for AI—specifically, how multinational enterprises can navigate the legal friction between the United States' voluntary administrative frameworks (such as the NIST AI RMF) and the EU AI Act's strict statutory mandates regarding synthetic media and deepfakes.
My research grounds these technical and legal frameworks in Thomistic ethics and Catholic Social Teaching (CST). By examining generative AI through the lens of prudence and epistemic truth, I aim to bridge the gap between abstract human rights laws, auditable corporate standards like ISO/IEC 42001, and the foundational moral principles necessary to protect human dignity and epistemic truth in the digital age.
