About Me.

I strive to push boundaries and ultimately to transform the face of exploration. As an engineer with an eye towards bioinspired designs to advance the technology for ocean exploration, I work to develop the next generation of novel tools to help us venture to the deep. As an ROV pilot, I have become one of a small handful of lead female pilots in my industry. I hope that my work in this industry continues to encourage women into the space of deep-sea exploration and technologies.
