What I'm looking for

I seek roles leveraging radiation/nuclear expertise, training, and project management in safety-focused organizations, with opportunities to lead training and improve processes.

I am a radiation health physicist and nuclear engineer with military explosive-ordnance response experience and over a decade of combined technical, instructional, and project management work. I delivered hands-on training in portable mass spectrometry and emergency response, supported nuclear facility operations at Hanford, authored technical procedures, produced AutoCAD/Inventor designs, and reduced project backlogs through tooling and process automation.

I excel at translating complex technical requirements into clear procedures, training, and deliverables, and I have written grant proposals, managed remote multimedia projects, and mentored interns and response teams. My background blends field emergency response, regulatory compliance, safety (ALARA), and engineering design—enabling measurable improvements in safety, efficiency, and program funding.
