About

I am currently a Process Engineer with Futamura. After graduating with a B.S. in Chemical Engineering from the University of Kansas, I moved to Milwaukee to work with Novozymes as a Process Engineer, Supply Chain Associate, and Project Manager. After learning valuable lessons from the work and my managers, I was advised to apply to the MEM program to further my career by my mentor and old manager.

Goals and interests

Career goal

I intend to lead the Process Engineering team at my existing site or another after the next few years, especially after using the lessons from my courses to improve the conditions at the plant. After that, I'd like to oversee a plant in a director or plant manager position to get more business dealings into my toolbelt. Longer term would be to run an environmental company.

Graduate school interests

Currently enrolled in the Masters of Engineering Management program at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

Outside the classroom

Pickleball, golf, tennis, racquetball, hiking, reading, and board games.
