Staff & Student Research Assistants

I’m currently in the WKU XR Lab writing and developing my master’s thesis – “An Implementation of Mixed Reality Technology for Field-specific, Manufacturing Education and Training.” – a project in which I intend to develop a Mixed Reality experience for my workplace for specific job training. I hope to help accelerate training Operating Technicians on specific jobs, making them more aware and comfortable with their working environment before they even set foot on the floor.

I graduated in 2018 with a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science from Western Kentucky University. During my undergraduate career, I was a member of the WKU Cloud Engineering Lab and WKU’s student chapter of the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM).

When I’m not at school, I work full time as a Systems Analyst at Logan Aluminum in Russellville. I’m originally from Russellville, where my dad (Jason), mom (Dee Dee), brothers (Ethan and Luke), and pets (Zeke the dog and Baby the cat) still reside.
