Mechanical Engineering, Leadership, and innovation in Newnan, GA
I’m a Georgia Tech-trained mechanical engineer based in Newnan, Georgia, working at Chick-fil-A’s Corporate Support Center where I tackle complex operational and engineering challenges.
I hold a Professional Engineer license in Electrical Engineering — an unusual distinction for someone with two mechanical engineering degrees, and one I’m proud of.
I’ve co-invented three patent filings in automated food systems technology assigned to Chick-fil-A, including a granted patent for an Automated Food Coating System (US11896045B2) and two pending applications in automated pressure frying and mobile fryer systems.
Outside of work I’m a girl dad, a follower of Jesus, a distance runner, and someone who believes mission work changes your perspective in ways nothing else can.
