I am an engineer for advanced technologies in the space and energy fields with nearly 10 years of experience designing, analyzing, and improving systems. Currently, I'm at MDA, working primarily on Canadarm3 and new business opportunities. On the former, I am a senior member of the General Operations Analysis Team ('GOAT Squad') where I am developing, demonstrating, and optimizing robotic operations expected to take place aboard the Lunar Gateway. On the latter, I am the lead architect of a Lunar nuclear reactor system that could one day power a sustained human presence on the Moon (or beyond)! Regardless of the role, I am always looking to new space technologies that will bring benefits back home to Earth. I'm an alumnus of McMaster University, where I got my Masters researching nuclear batteries. I was also the student lead of the University's first satellite mission -- McMaster NEUDOSE -- which collected radiation data in Low Earth Orbit to better protect future astronauts. Whether I am applying my systems engineering experience to space or nuclear engineering (sometimes separately, sometimes at the same time), I aim to help the planet and all those that inhabit it. I have an avid interest in mentorship, leadership, and science communication while advocating for a just and inclusive world. It is my hope to use my experiences to help others find the same passion that I have been lucky enough to find. When not designing things, I enjoy camping, gardening, the occasional birding, playing Dungeons and Dragons with my pals, or thinking about dinosaurs.
