Welcome to My Portfolio

University of Georgia Alumnus | Culinary Scientist | Analytical Strategist

I am a graduate of the University of Georgia with a degree in Culinary Science and Nutrition, specializing in Sensory Science. My professional identity is defined by a unique intersection of technical scientific research, high-stakes operational leadership, and disciplined analytical management.

​

Throughout my time at UGA and in the field, I have built a "field-to-fork" perspective that allows me to bridge the gap between complex data and consumer experience. Whether conducting dairy sensory studies in the lab, overseeing technical AgTech installations across the Southern U.S., or managing private investment portfolios with strict fiduciary accountability, I am driven by precision and a commitment to quality.

The Core Pillars of My Work

Sensory & Food Research: Trained in affective, discrimination, and descriptive methodologies with hands-on experience in product reformulation and consumer perception studies.

​

Operational Excellence: Proven leadership in high-volume culinary environments and technical field operations, emphasizing food safety (HACCP), quality compliance, and hardware calibration.

​

Analytical Rigor: Expert-level data interpretation and risk management developed through the management of multiple private capital accounts and independent market research.
