PhD Materials Scientist | Sustainability, Medical Devices, and Consumer Care Products

Profile Summary

I am a PhD-trained Materials Scientist with experience spanning sustainability, regulated medical devices, and consumer products. I have worked in industry roles at Oak Ridge National Labs (ORNL), L'Oreal, Becton Dickinson (BD), and Kenvue, supporting data-driven decision-making, product stewardship, and sustainability initiatives across highly regulated environments. My expertise includes materials evaluation, data analysis and statistical interpretation, and scientific and technical writing. I have supported projects related to recycled and bio-based materials, sustainability and circularity considerations, risk and compliance assessments, and translating complex technical findings into clear, defensible documentation. This includes experience with internal technical reports, white papers, research manuscripts, and cross-functional communication. I regularly collaborate with researchers, engineers, and product teams to strengthen analysis, refine technical narratives, and ensure scientific accuracy while maintaining clarity for diverse audiences. I am particularly well-suited for projects at the intersection of sustainability, materials science, and regulated consumer or medical products, where practical application and clear communication are critical.
