Bio

I am a propulsion and contamination engineer for Boeing Phantom Works.

I received my PhD and masters degree from Purdue University studying microgravity fluid dynamics and heat transfer as a means of propellant management.  Similarly, I completed my bachelors degree in 2010 at Carthage College researching propellant slosh in a scaled model of the Orion propellant tank.

My primary points of engagement with AIAA is through the Young Professional Group and Liquid Propulsion Technical Committee.

Outside of work, I spend my time reading, sewing, and rolling on the floor with my kids.
