Instructor

Bossier Parish Community College, Bossier City, Louisiana August 2022 – December 2022

• Taught Lean, print reading, advanced manufacturing concepts – created custom graphics for Canvas: o Real-time 3D CAD modeling demonstrating Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing concepts o Interactive Excel chart demonstrating inductive reactance and capacitive reactance o Animated GIF illustrating 2D drafting projections Volunteer Intern June 2017 – August 2018

NASA headquarters, Washington DC/Houston Texas (remote)

• Participated in weekly telecons to develop the rationale to use the Moon as a stepping stone to Mars. Graduate Student Summer Exploration Intern May 2016– July 2016 Lunar and Planetary Institute, Houston, Texas

• Planned Lunar South Pole exploration in pressurized rovers and Extra Vehicular Activity (EVA) sample collection. Mechanical System Design and Analysis Engineer 3 June 1998 – May 2014 Boeing, Houston, Texas

• Lean and Export Control lead for team.

o Created Lean presentations and presented to team to foster Lean mindset. o Automated a manual data post processing task, saving 187 labor hours in first 6 months of use in 2007. Similar cost savings continued through 2014.

• Led the development and use of 3D CAD kinematic techniques that verified the first time fit of the assembly of the International Space Station (ISS) on orbit - participated in problem solving and issue resolution of the nine berthing interferences found that required redesign, modification, or operational workaround. Three of these would have been major on-orbit anomalies if not fixed before flight. o Contributed to Common Berthing Mechanism guide meshing flight rule.

• Stage Drawing checker (Top Assembly Drawing of ISS configuration at Space Shuttle Departure).

• After the Space Shuttle Columbia Accident, served on the Shuttle Tile Damage Assessment Team to ensure that the space shuttle thermal protection system had not been compromised by ice and foam shedding on ascent. Team lead - created CAD models from data acquired by the on-orbit scan of the tile damage with a laser scanner. Member Technical Staff 3

Dynacs Engineering, Houston, Texas October 1995 – June 1998

• Measured Space Shuttle and ISS hardware, using Digital Photogrammetry, documenting 3D position and orientation of key features for use of crew and Mission Control. Test and Verification Test Conductor - measured Space Shuttle Endeavor docking mechanism to verify it had not been damaged in testing. AWARDS/HONORS

• Silver Snoopy Spaceflight Awareness award, presented by astronauts, CADDIES 1st Place animation Faculty and Graduate Students – Apollo 13 to the edge and back, three employee of the month awards, 45 commendations
