I am currently serving as an officer in the NOAA Commissioned Officer Corps, a uniformed service of the United States that supports NOAA's mission of science, service, and stewardship of Earth's oceans and atmosphere. As of 2022, I have been serving as a Deck Watch Officer aboard the NOAA Ship Nancy Foster, a 187 ft oceanographic research vessel based in Charleston, SC. My primary responsibility is standing bridge watches underway, ensuring safe and efficient science operations while at sea. I also serve as the ship's Navigation Officer, Environmental Compliance Officer, and Medical Officer (currently a Remote EMT with licensure in South Carolina). I will be adding more information about our work at sea (including photographs) over the coming months.
