Objective: To obtain full time permanent employment in the field of engineering, engineering
physics or research and development improving current or new technologies, and experimental
science. Specific areas of interest and capabilities include: component design, system engineering,
systems integration, test engineering and systems safety engineering.
Employment
August 2015 – Present • Aerospace Engineer: Range Safety Engineering, National Air and Space Administration
(NASA) Kennedy Space Center FL • Range safety policy and planning, development of procedures, plans and
documentation pertaining to the Kennedy Space Center commercial launch capability • develop and maintain
cooperative agreements and rapport with the Air Force 45th Space Wing, as well as the Federal Aviation
Administration, and commercial space industry leaders to support the development of a "Multi-User Spaceport"
capability at Kennedy Space Center • Evaluation and operation of current state of the art range safety analysis and
modeling tools • Member of the KSC range safety launch team supporting real time range safety decision making by
evaluating data from multiple sources and ensuring all range safety requirements are being met. In the event of a
requirement(s) violation, I support the waiver or equivalent level of safety decision making process by assisting in data
evaluation and interpretation. I work closely with center, program, and industry leaders and provide accurate
characterization of technical data to risk acceptors and decision makers. Further I am often tasked with briefing highly
technical data and information to the highest levels of center, FAA, and commercial management for evaluation and
decision making.
