Bio
I have worked in the radiological protection industry for 20+ years. I worked for a couple of different radioactive material licensees prior to coming out to ORNL. I got to ORNL in early 2016, starting at numerous hot cell facilities before moving to the High Flux Isotope Reactor in the middle of 2016. I continued to work as a senior radiological control technician until October of 2019. At that time, I was promoted to a radiological protection operations manager position in the Nuclear and Radiological Protection Division at ORNL. I stayed in that position almost three years supporting D&D, and environmental cleanup projects before coming back to HFIR. In July of 2022, the longtime RPO manager at HFIR decided to retire, and I was fortunate enough to be asked to come back to replace her as the RPO manager, and that is where I am today. I hope to have a long successful career helping HFIR run successfully and achieve all their milestones going forward.
