BYU Risk Management
Collect and characterize chemical, biological, and radioactive materials from 120+ laboratories. Audit inventory and storage, help train student employees, develop Safety Data Sheets, and revise standard operating procedures with leadership.
BYU Conference Center · Jun 2022 – Jan 2023
Coordinated setup and logistics for 40+ events with up to 2,000 attendees.
Ensign College · Apr 2021 – Jan 2022
Supported 50+ test-takers weekly and communicated testing guidelines by email and campus announcements.
Petro Matad Group · Jun – Jul 2018
Analyzed 185+ oil extraction data points and supported laboratory maintenance and hazardous materials handling.
ABOUT ME
A model predicts a different yield. A sparger changes how quickly oxygen enters the liquid. A disposal invoice reveals a possible improvement. I enjoy working through the details to understand why—and deciding what to test next.
I’m pursuing a B.S. in Chemical Engineering at Brigham Young University, graduating in April 2027. My interests span process engineering, water treatment, and environmental health and safety.
