I’m a space-focused systems and propulsion engineer with over a decade of experience in military aviation environments, working at the intersection of physics, propulsion systems, and operational risk.
My background spans turbine engine systems (TF-34, F110), propulsion training, and system-level troubleshooting in high-consequence mission settings. Over the course of my career, I’ve been responsible not just for maintaining hardware, but for translating complex engineering principles into safe, repeatable, and mission-ready outcomes—often under real-world constraints where judgment matters as much as analysis.
I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Astronomical and Planetary Science and am entering the Space Systems Engineering graduate program at Johns Hopkins University, where I’m expanding my focus into space mission architecture, systems engineering, and integration. My technical interests include spacecraft systems, propulsion and performance analysis, mission assurance, and applied modeling and simulation.
What I bring to space and defense programs is a systems mindset grounded in operations: the ability to connect physics-based analysis, hardware behavior, and human decision-making into coherent, executable solutions. I’m particularly drawn to work that supports national security space, applied research, and mission-critical systems where reliability, discipline, and accountability are essential.
I’m currently seeking opportunities with defense primes, FFRDCs, and government-adjacent organizations where I can contribute as a space or systems engineer while continuing to grow into increasingly complex space mission roles.
