NASA Headquarters
I have degrees from Ricks College (AS 1994), Brigham Young University (BA Physics Education 1999), and Naval Postgraduate School (MS Meteorology and Oceanography 2011). I taught math and science at the High School and Junior High School level in Utah from 1998-2000.
I served on active duty in the Navy from 2000-2020. While in the Navy I taught physics and reactor physics at the Naval Nuclear Power Training Command, worked as a meteorologist, oceanographer, climate analyst, and in research project management for remote sensing and space science. I started at NASA in July 2020 as a Program Executive serving in the Heliophysics Division. I managed the Atmospheric Waves Experiment (AWE) instrument that was recently launched to the International Space Station and manage Polarimeter to Unify the Corona and Heliosphere (PUNCH) project that launches in about a year and Heliophysics CubeSat missions.
