A licensed Professional Mechanical Engineer with approximately 7 years of experience, she specializes in mechanical and materials engineering with a focus on metallurgy, fracture mechanics, fatigue analysis, and failure analysis. Her background includes materials testing, characterization, process development, and additive manufacturing across aerospace, manufacturing, and consumer product environments, including work involving structural performance of high-reliability aerospace components and development of testing methodologies for metallic and polymeric systems. She has experience integrating military, ASTM, ISO, and NASA-related specifications into product development and production processes, supporting evaluation of materials performance, manufacturing quality, and design integrity.

In a forensic and consulting capacity, she has contributed to analysis of mechanical and material failures involving consumer products, industrial equipment, aerospace systems, heavy machinery, battery technology, and structural components, including corrosion, fracture, weldment, and materials-related failures. Earlier in her career, she worked in materials engineering, additive manufacturing, quality engineering, and process development roles involving aerospace systems, 3D printing technologies, materials characterization, reliability testing, and manufacturing process optimization. With prior expert witness experience, she provides support in matters involving failure analysis, metallurgy, mechanical design evaluation, warnings and human factors, and materials selection, applying a multidisciplinary approach that bridges materials science and engineering design to assess causation and performance in technical disputes. She maintains involvement with professional organizations including the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) and ASTM International E28 Committee (Mechanical Testing).
