Atlanta, Georgia, United States

Operated a High Velocity Projectile Machine (HVPM) (4000 PSI → 1400 ft/s) to support graduate researchon Cross Laminated Timber (CLT) performance. Collaborated on design modifications on the CLT test stand for easy transitions between ballistic shots.

Houston, Texas, United States

Supported the Portable Life Support System (PLSS) team in the Space Suit and Crew Survival Systems. Analyzed mechanical and electrical schematics to complete assembly of a test rig. Supported Thermal Vacuum Chamber testing with hands-on support of a partial assembly of the xEMU space suit.

Greenbelt, Maryland, United States

I supported an integration and testing team at NASA GSFC with hands-on technical work paired with documentation support to assist with future environmental tests. Read the attached photo for more info!

I supported a design reference mission for a lunar satellite within Space Communications and Navigation (SCaN) by creating a computer aided design of the spacecraft using SolidWorks. Once finished, this model consisted of 430 total parts, 60 individual parts, and 15 sub-assemblies. I incorporated movement into my model, as this aids in the visualization of operations. I also created an animation of this movement using a motion study within Solid Works. Finally I completed multiple renders of the top level assembly. A unique aspect of the model I created is that it utilizes features such as equations, variables, and properties, to make both parts and assemblies "smart". This saves time during the design process, as iterations are made frequently and need to be implemented quickly. During this process I learned how to keep myself on a realistic timeline by continuously re-assessing the scope of my project. Although I originally only planned to create one sub-component of the satellite, my hard work paired with my ability to learn and excel at new concepts allowed me to finish the assembly in its entirety. I also gained the experience of knowing who and when to ask for help, as I was often faced with tasks that were unfamiliar. Finally, I gained valuable teamwork skills as I was a part of a roughly 30 person internship cohort (SCaN Internship Program)

Wilmington, North Carolina, United States

Working with experienced field service engineers in a fast-paced challenging environment, attending entry level technical trainings at GEH in Wilmington, NC as well as San Jose, CA, and performing maintenance activities on Boiling Water Reactors(BWR) at multiple site outages across the country.

Atlanta, Georgia, United States

Promote STEM in space among Atlanta public school students by giving interactive presentations on topics such as Mars, black holes, the ISS, and the solar system to classrooms and after school groups. This is a GSGC program, funded by NASA. I have also judged an Atlanta public school science fair through this program.

Washington, District Of Columbia, United States

I was a member of the first cohort of interns at NASA HQ during the summer of 2018. Although this was intended to be a college position, I received the offer when I was 16 years old. I conducted research and data analysis on the technological advancements of total solar irradiance instruments over the past 40 years, and eventually presented my findings at the end of the summer. I also worked with arctic NSIDC data on a separate project, where I learned some python and used various data analysis methods to interpret this arctic data.
