Additional info: My previous work experience includes F/A-18 flight test engineering, loads and dynamics engineering, vibration and shock testing, and JPL Icy World sample acquisition prototyping. Although I have spent most of my time in aerospace not on the 'human' side of things, I love learning about physiology (both on Earth and in space) and expanding my knowledge through classes and research. In my free time, I enjoy skiing/snowboarding, hiking/mountaineering, water sports, and building things.​

Favorite. Hobby: Snow sports!​
