My Mission Statement:

I am a motivated engineer with a wealth of creativity. My professional experiences range from being a laboratory researcher for the Air Force and Los Alamos National Laboratory to a production safety officer for Cargill and FarmAFields. From these experiences, I've become technically literate in various coding languages and statistical software packages, making me capable, confident, and adaptable across many STEM disciplines. In addition to this skill set, I am very experienced in additive manufacturing practices. I have designed and built structural components for computers, robotics,  waste filtration, and solar panel systems.

I was born in Nebraska and grew up in the Northern Great Plains where I learned to love nature through outdoor recreation. I went on to study at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and then at the Air Force Institute of Technology as a master's student. I draw inspiration from nature and love to surround myself with divergent cultural perspectives. My professional background stems from chemical engineering, geology, and material science. This background includes electrochemical analysis, nuclear chemistry, hydrological systems remediation, thermodynamic modeling, and material characterization analysis. Lastly, I am extremely passionate about environmental work. This motivates me in my engineering work to reduce waste, utilize sustainable resources, and think deeply about the safety of others.
