About

Profile

I received my Doctor of Philosophy degree in Chemistry from the University of Southern California, my Bachelor of Science degree in Chemistry from the University of North Florida, and my Certificate in Project Management from the University of Delaware.

I have more than fourteen years of experience in product development and materials analysis in academia, government, and commercial groups in advanced technology industries. I have more than six years of experience and a proven track record of project management, creating and leading technical teams, writing and editing technical publications and funding proposals for government agencies, providing instruction, and business development.

I have over three years of experience in organic electronics in the areas of conjugated heterocyclic polymers for charge storage applications and aqueous analyte electrochemical sensors via functionalized carbon nanotube-based devices. In graduate school, my research focused on the synthesis and photophysics of visible and near-infrared light emitting polymer-lanthanide complexes. Prior to graduate school, I synthesized medicinal compounds for two years at Mayo Clinic Jacksonville. I have strong technical skills and hands-on experience in creating or modifying existing products and processes using analytical, synthetic organic, and polymer chemistry, as well as materials science.

Currently, I perform failure analysis on electronics materials and provide manufacturing process recommendations, along with developing and managing benchmarking and electronics manufacturing research projects.

Outside of chemistry and the sciences, I enjoy baking, cooking, photography, reading, gaming, web design and working with computers.
