LT

• Jun 2008 - Nov 2018

I currently work as a engineer with the Office of Naval Research (ONR). My current position allows me to travel and work with developing and already developed South American and Central American countries. I help to build strategic science and research teaming agreements between (ONR) and such countries. This helps to develop smaller economies as well as giving them access to science and research that they would normally not be able to access.
