I joined LLNL in 2017 as a Process Engineer for the Waste Treatment Group in Radioactive & Hazardous Waste Management (RHWM) where I implemented process improvements and design changes to waste treatment unit operations, conducted treatability studies on aqueous waste, developed treatment methods for off-normal waste, and analyzed gamma spectra for radioactive waste characterization. I took on the additional role of Waste Treatment Operations Supervisor in 2020, safely leading a team of skilled technicians in daily treatment operations while ensuring activities adhered to federal and state regulations.

In 2023 I joined the Process Engineering Team in the Optics & Materials Science & Technology (OMST) Organization, supporting optics processing for NIF & Photon Science.
