Lead cross-sector coalitions that integrate science, policy, and community needs.
I help organizations coordinate partnerships, build shared vision, and translate research into tangible value for society.

The Proof in the Science

From Mercury to Mars and beyond, my research investigates how planets form, evolve, and sustain change over time—advancing the science that underpins exploration. As Founder and Director of LunaSCOPE, I lead a $7.5 million NASA-funded research team supporting Artemis lunar science and shaping national strategy for planetary discovery.

These projects demonstrate how rigorous science and strategic leadership work hand in hand—grounding exploration in evidence while enabling innovation and inclusion across disciplines.

    The Fury of Planet Mercury

    Mercury is often the oddball of the inner solar system—small, dense, and seemingly inert. But beneath its scorched surface lies a record of planetary processes that punch far above its size class. For planetary scientists, Mercury isn’t just an endpoint in solar system evolution; it’s a testing ground for theories of differentiation, bombardment, and interior…
