I remotely worked with the Propulsion Test Office at White Sands Test Facility during the Summer of 2020. Due to the COVID-19 telework environment, my work centered on telework friendly activities. These included evaluating and presenting the rationale and cost for reactivating test infrastructure and compiling the data from testing estimates to better streamline test stand activity planning.
In the Spring of 2020, I worked in the Green Propulsion branch at Marshall Space Flight Center. I worked the development testing of thrusters and pumps, along with other miscellaneous activities in support of the Lunar Flashlight payload. During COVID-19 teleworking, I finished the internship working on requirements documents and specifications for the ground support equipment for Lunar Flashlight.
During the Summer of 2019, I worked in the hypergolics branch of NASA's Kennedy Space Center. My primary responsibilities were the parsing of requirements for Orion hypergolic fill and drain V&V testing, developing a MATLAB script to parse the data from V&V testing in support of design certification, and supporting test activities.
Over Fall 2018, I worked in the Small Spacecraft Propulsion branch at NASA Marshall Space Flight Center. My role was supporting the development of a novel pressurization system for spacecraft propulsion systems. My duties included subscale test planning and execution, prototype design, and system level test design. I worked 20 hours per week while also taking a full load of courses.
In Summer 2018, I was a member of the NASA Marshall Spaceflight Center Propulsion Academy, where regular intern activities were accompanied by twice-weekly evening lectures and weekend activities. I was on a team of 3 other academy interns supporting activities in the green monopropellant labratory. Our tasks included water flowing of a ground-based propellant delivery system to verify flowmeters and development of a novel pressurization system for spacecraft propulsion systems. This was a full-time internship.
In Summer 2017, I worked at the RadioBro Corporation in Huntsville, Alabama. My roles included mechanical design for embedded systems, creating 2D drafts for manufacturing, and writing design documents detailing instructions for assembly and use. I also worked on conceptual CAD design for low technology readiness systems to display potential use cases. This was a full time position.
