Biography

I joined the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) in April 2011, initially as a contractor, becoming a federal employee in December 2016. The majority of my tenure focused on nuclear material management projects. Currently, I am on a temporary assignment with the Department of Energy's (DOE) Office of Environmental Management, focusing on a cross-organizational effort between NNSA and the DOE program offices to reduce waste by seeking opportunities to recycle and reuse materials recovered during deactivation and decommissioning activities.
