Professional Bio
In my first professional role after graduating with a BS in Chemical Engineering from the University of Kentucky, I worked for Parker Hannifin in their Engineering Leadership Development Program. Through this rotational program, I was able to spend time working in Columbia, TN and in the greater Kansas City area. I dove into some fundamentals of engineering: creating P&IDs for a pilot facility, researching polymeric membranes for the hydrogen economy, and completing patent searches to find our niche in the market.
In addition to my daily engineering activities, I also had access to the corporate activities of the ELDP. I was a member of a team that built an individual product carbon footprinting tool for all sites across Parker. This team made significant strides, obtaining customer input on the desired goal, and eventually pushing out the tool to all Parker sites. The development of this tool involved piloting the tool at 5 different Parker sites across the US, of which I led two. This effort was one that helped me grow as a professional and a leader.
After my experience at Parker Hannifin, I've had the opportunity to learn about the Titanium Dioxide production process with The Chemours Company. I've developed my skills as a process engineer, supporting both operations and process development efforts. I have supported capital projects with valuations over $1M and led Process Hazard Analyses for high hazard process areas, helping to further prioritize my safety focus.
I'm also grateful for my leadership opportunities. Leading the Chemours Women's Network (CWN) Quarterly Global Calls and The CWN Future of Chemistry Scholarship Program (awarding $50,000 in scholarships annually) has been a privilege. Acting as the site's PSRM Process Technology Element lead and spearheading efforts to reduce the production of substandard product have been significant highlights of my career. I've been blessed in my short two years of my career and look forward to the future!
