I'm presently working towards my Ph.D. in Civil and Environmental Engineering at Carnegie Mellon University with a focus on Advanced Infrastructure Systems. I have an undergraduate degree in Physics from Reed College and experience working with a consultant engineer assisting in the design and drafting of residential and commercial construction documents. While pursuing my undergraduate degree at Reed, I worked at the nuclear reactor on campus as a Senior Reactor Operator, working with a team to oversee reactor operations, system maintenance, and staff training.
