Biography

After 9 years in the nuclear Navy, finding Mixed Waste processing was when I knew exactly what I wanted to do with my life. It took almost 10 years of industry work before I gave myself permission to chase my passion, however. Finding VCU and working on a PhD focused on pyroprocessing electrochemistry is the most excitement and fulfillment I've felt in my adult working life. I want to be part of the safe and effective processing and reuse of spent nuclear fuel and I won't rest in learning and bettering myself until I make that dream come true.
