Systems safety and explosive safety engineer with a technical background spanning energetics, defense systems, and high-hazard chemical environments. Specializes in energetics and systems safety hazard analyses, probabilistic risk assessment, blast analysis, and explosives safety site planning for operations where loss of control carries catastrophic consequences. Brings depth in explosives safety, quantity-distance siting, and system failure forensics, applying advanced investigative methods to root cause analysis and long-term risk mitigation. Skilled in leading high-impact safety initiatives, conducting system and facility performance evaluations, and executing program-level audits in complex, high-risk settings.
Marissa is a systems safety and explosives safety engineer whose work sits at the intersection of blast physics, catastrophic risk, and operational consequence. She has built her career in some of the most demanding CBRNE environments in the defense sector, applying rigorous systems safety methodology to facilities and operations where failure is not an option. Her expertise in explosives safety and blast analysis extends across the full arc of program risk from initial hazard identification through regulatory compliance across multiple regulatory frameworks.
Beyond the defense sector, Marissa has worked alongside CDC and public health response teams on CBRNE preparedness and consequence management, giving her a uniquely broad lens on chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, and explosive threat environments. A nationally accredited paramedic, she brings firsthand emergency response experience to her engineering practice - closing the gap between technical risk assessment and real-world outcomes.
