I began my career after graduating from Auburn University with a degree in Electrical Engineering. I started at a consulting engineering firm, where I supported industrial projects in instrumentation and controls. I later transitioned into the refining industry as an Instrument Engineer, focusing on instrumentation maintenance, troubleshooting, and process reliability improvements.
After moving into an Electrical Engineer role, I gained extensive hands-on experience troubleshooting and supporting medium voltage switchgear, MCCs, motors, and other critical electrical distribution equipment to improve plant reliability and operational performance.
Currently, I work as a Reliability Engineer, supporting instrumentation, electrical systems, PLCs, and process analyzers. In this role, I focus on improving asset reliability, driving root cause analysis and reliability initiatives, and supporting maintenance and operations teams to enhance overall plant performance and equipment uptime.
