within

begins

exploration

Art and science are equally important in understanding the world around us, as well as the word within.

I believe in contributing beauty, creativity, kindness, and solutions in order to leave the world better than I found it. I am fascinated by light, shape, texture, patterns, human behavior, perception, language, and mother nature.

I received my PhD in nuclear engineering from the University of Tennessee (UT). A recent year-long sabbatical refilled my cup, and I am currently launching a business focused on helping others heal from burn-out. Past roles include director of nonproliferation and arms control programs, and National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) Graduate Fellow. Recipient of multiple awards, including UT's 40 under 40 Award and two NNSA awards for service to the United States.
