I help turn customer specifications into custom reactors, fermenters and process systems at Gale Process Solutions. My background spans crystallization research for experiments aboard the International Space Station and seven years running a six-location restaurant business.

I graduated from Rowan University's Henry M. Rowan College of Engineering in May 2026 with a B.S. in Chemical Engineering and minors in mathematics and chemistry, after starting in engineering science at Mercer County Community College.
At Rowan I worked on two research clinics: one analyzing crystals grown in microgravity to improve pharmaceutical crystallization, the other testing carbon–carbon composites for aerospace use. The crystal work earned the 2026 Chemical Engineering Research Award.
Running restaurant operations through school taught me how to lead teams, manage costs and keep customers happy. I bring that same practical side to engineering projects today.

Developed image analysis methods to measure impurities in dye crystals from microgravity crystallization studies, using Keyence microscopy and HPLC, to help improve pharmaceutical crystallization in space.
Analyzed the mechanical and thermal properties of carbon–carbon composites, evaluating how they perform under the extreme conditions of aerospace and space applications.
Recognized for using image analysis to estimate the purity of dyed crystals from crystallization experiments run aboard the International Space Station.
Outside work I play the piano and have recently taken up golf.
Working on a reactor, fermenter or process equipment project? I'd like to hear about it.
