Building relationships with the dozens of students and early career professionals has made me most proud."

"What’s not to love about a job where you get to ask questions, answer them,

"After more than 50 years as a practitioner ergonomist, I continue to find ample opportunity to improve system designs. This has helped me focus on improving the user interface, human engineering and human systems integration (HSI) requirements that are applied to complex system development projects."
