I am a recent masters of science graduate focused in improving the additive manufacturing (AM) field by developing certification methodologies. These certification methodologies are crucial to ensure the business case for AM can be made by providing cost savings through efficient quality assurance. I hope to continue my work in the aerospace and defense sector and use my understanding of processing-structure -property relationships as a Materials Scientist to tackle future engineering problems.

As a Tier 1 research university that is ABET accredited, the University of North Texas (UNT) has already allowed me opportunities to work alongside defense research labs such as the Air Force Research Lab and Army Research Lab.

Empowered by my past experiences, I look forward to joining an innovative team to create the future of additive manufacturing.
