Introduction
I'm an International Space Station (ISS) Flight Controller in the Spacecraft Network Systems Group at NASA's Johnson Space Center, where I specialize in the network and systems administration of the networks on-board ISS.
I'm also studying at the University of Houston's Sasakawa International Center for Space Architecture (SICSA), where I plan to leverage my experience in spaceflight operations to design the next generation of space vehicles, habitats, and communication systems.

Establishing a permanent human presence on the Moon is a crucial step towards becoming an interplanetary species and enabling further exploration of the Solar System. This paper presents a comprehensive design approach for the initial modules that will form the foundation of a lunar colony at the South Pole, accommodating the first crew of four ast...
This paper investigates the use of Extended Reality (XR) technologies, including Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR), and Mixed Reality (MR), in the iterative design and evaluation of lunar habitats. Conducted over a four-month period at the University of Houston's Sasakawa International Center for Space Architecture (SICSA) and NASA's Mar...
The evolution to sustainable habitation on the Lunar surface presents an array of challenges, from the technical, administrative, and operational. A phased approach to using increasingly sustainable elements includes three types of habitats-class 1, 2, and 3. Class 1 habitations include rigid and unchanging element structure. Class 2 habitations in...
