Career

Mastro holds a Bachelor of Arts (2006) in East Asian studies from Stanford University [1] (where she studied Mandarin) and a Master of Arts (2009) and PhD (2013) in politics from Princeton University. [2] From 2006 to 2007, Mastro was a junior fellow for the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace's China program. [3] [4] In 2008, while a doctoral student at Princeton, Mastro met with then deputy commander of the U.S. Pacific Command (USINDOPACOM), Lieutenant general Dan P. Leaf, at a conference. Leaf suggested that she enlist in the U.S. military after learning about her plan to pursue a summer internship with USINDOPACOM to better research how the military dealt with issues in the Asia-Pacific. [1] Despite initially deciding to continue with an internship instead, Mastro enlisted in the U.S. Air Force in late 2008 and later started officer training to commission as a second lieutenant. [1]

In 2009, Mastro joined the Department of Defense as an analyst for USINDOPACOM. Subsequently, in 2010, she worked for the Project 2049 Institute as a summer associate. From 2012 to 2013, she was a fellow at the Center for a New American Security. [5] In 2013, Mastro was appointed assistant professor of security studies at Georgetown's Edmund A. Walsh School of Foreign Service, [5] and in 2020, she was appointed a center fellow at Stanford's Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies. [6] [7]

In the meantime, Mastro has also continued her military service in the U.S. Air Force Reserve. [2] She was named the Air Force's Individual Reservist Company Grade Officer of the Year in both 2016 and 2022. [5] [8] [9]
