About Me

I received my Bachelor's degree in Aerospace Engineering from Iowa State University, and my Master's and Ph.D. in Aerospace Engineering from Penn State. I work as a STEAM Specialist for Pioneer Library System at the Norman Public Library Central in Norman, Oklahoma, USA. I am also the Director of Operations for the eGullet Society for Culinary Arts & Letters, and I serve on the board of directors for the Norman Film Festival.

I teach and develop science and technology classes for a public library in Norman, OK. This includes coding classes, movie-making programs, and classes on using the Maker Lab equipment.

Culinary Society
The eGullet Society for Culinary Arts & Letters operates the eGullet Forums, a food-focused culinary discussion site. I maintain the server and coordinate the Society's volunteer team.

Film Festival
The Norman Film Festival began in 2017 and is focused on bringing the best independent films to downtown Norman, including a showcase of local Oklahoma filmmaking talent.
