A little about me
A thoughtful approach.
A different path.
From caring for people to caring for spacecraft, I’ve always been drawn to work where preparation, precision, and a calm head matter.
I trained as a nationally and state-licensed paramedic, earned my degree in neuroscience, and found my way into spaceflight operations. Each chapter has given me another way to think about people and the systems around them.
Today, I’m building on that foundation through a master’s in Space Systems Engineering at Johns Hopkins, with a focus on satellite design, power management, and telemetry.
My background also gives me an interest in human factors and the science of human spaceflight — another perspective on the connection between people and complex systems.
Beyond the flight deck
In dedication to my dad, I joined a team of 27 to fundraise and take on a 4,000-mile run across America with 4K for Cancer. The run is part of my story; supporting people affected by cancer remains the reason to share it.
