About Me
I’m a research scientist with a background in space resource utilization (ISRU) and materials chemistry. I also help scientist improve their communication skills.
My scientific writing & research has appeared in several scientific journals including ACS Chemistry of Materials and ACS Inorganic Chemistry.
I create opportunities for scientists to develop their science communication skills through my online coaching platform, DataToDialogue, by focusing on three keystones: storytelling, data visualization, and personal presence.
I engage in public outreach through a variety of community organizations.
I developed and delivered comprehensive lectures on space resources (ISRU) to a diverse global audience, reaching 400+ secondary & university students in 7 countries (Space Goes to School, SLI TerraLuna Challenge).
I coordinated community public outreach events under a graduate fellowship sponsored by NASA and the Pennsylvania Space Grant Consortium.
I collaborated with 2 teams from the PSU Center for Nanoscale Science and the Franklin Institute to develop science education modules for Mission: Materials Science, providing scientific experiments for thousands of children
In my free time, I help families with genealogical research in the US and Luxembourg. This work led me to published a biography about a long-forgotten baseball legend.
As a lifelong learner, I’m currently studying Space Technologies and Business at the University of Luxembourg, where I focus on the use of space resources.
I hold a B.S. in Chemistry from Denison University (2017) and a Ph.D. in Inorganic-Materials Chemistry from the University of Pennsylvania (2023).
