About Me:

I simultaneously love being inside and outside. I'm very outdoorsy but love tinkering at home with the 3D printer/laser cutter. I'm an avid landscape photographer and love driving to new places and taking panoramas of amazing views. I grew up in Texas and somehow managed to land a job close to where I went to high school!

What I do:

I've been at GD-OTS since 2023 when I graduated. I design tooling and process changes to aid in the production of MK 80 General Purpose Bombs. This frequently involves reverse engineering and using CMM (coordinate measurement machine) on old tooling and equipment. I use SolidWorks on a daily basis, and on occasion use FEA. I love being here have a great work-life balance.

Previous Employers:

This is my first job! I interned here the summer of 2022.
