Alyza Sebenius

As a recent graduate of Harvard Law School, I am passionate about national security law and policy. Prior to HLS, I investigated the intersection of foreign policy and technology as a full-time cybersecurity reporter for Bloomberg News in Washington D.C. In an earlier role, I covered the Trump administration for Bloomberg, writing daily from the White House and regularly traveling with POTUS aboard Air Force One, both abroad and across the country. My work was published online and in Bloomberg Businessweek magazine, and I was frequently live on Bloomberg TV and radio.

I first wrote about politics and cybersecurity, among other topics, for The Atlantic, where I spent two years in editorial roles for the magazine. I am fluent in Hebrew and have contributed stories to The New York Times from Jerusalem, where I served as personal assistant to the NYT bureau chief. I have served as a member of The White House Correspondents Association, National Press Club and Aspen Strategy Group's Rising Leaders Program, a fellowship for individuals in the field of national security under age thirty-five.

In addition, I have significant experience in nonfiction book editing, which began at Farrar, Straus & Giroux and its Scientific American imprint. Subsequently, I served as chief book assistant on The Perfect Weapon: War, Sabotage, and Fear in the Cyber Age by David Sanger (NYT national security correspondent), which was published by Crown in 2018 and later produced as an HBO documentary. I graduated from Harvard College in 2015, where I earned a degree in English and worked on The Crimson.
