For the Perseverance mission, my team evaluated risk of Mars Sample Return (MSR) to life on Earth through claims-argument-evidence framework. I led a team of student interns under the guidance of senior engineers at JPL. The purpose of this assessment was to build a safety case for MSR; this includes measures to mitigate the effects of potential harmful particles. Examples of threats that regolith samples may contain include carcinogens, fissionable material, and particles with harmful geometry. Our findings here result in the design of sample handling once returned to earth. ### SCJ Alliance Engineering Technician Summer 2022 SCJ Alliance, an engineering consultancy, specializes in civil projects. The cable-propelled subteam partners with architects and local stakeholders to design and build aerial gondolas as transportation. During my time at SCJ, I worked on a variety of projects under civil engineers and urban designers. I drafted technical drawings in AutoCAD to chart gondola routes over highway interchanges for LA Metro. Along with writing and proofing technical memos, I did extensive research for seven projects ranging from estimating user demand to strategies for mitigating the effect of lightning in tropical climates; the culmination of this research, with the supervision of project leads, was presented to both public and private clients. ##### I've had other jobs, too!
