Work
Building Bridges in Manufacturing
My vocation is collaboration and clear communication, which I bring to every role. The values I live by are simplicity, trust, and meaningful work.
At Astra , I built human-centered software to support aerospace manufacturing and developed tools for engineers to analyze flight and test vehicle performance. My foundation in manufacturing stems from my time working in inventory, where I interacted with nearly every part of the vehicle throughout its development lifecycle. Collaboration was key, working closely with engineering, the machine shop, quality control, finance, production, and supply chain teams. This teamwork demonstrated the transformative power of shared efforts, turning aspirations into reality and culminating in our first successful orbital launch.
