What I'm looking for

I'm looking to keep supporting complex production and manufacturing operations where I can use data-driven planning, material coordination, and cross-functional communication to reduce schedule risk and keep work moving.

At Huntington Ingalls Incorporated, I support large-scale shipbuilding production by aligning shop work, material availability, and vessel-level priorities.

I use Power BI to analyze departmental data, surface shortages, defects, and replacement needs, and create weekly dashboards that give leadership visibility into bay operations, progress, and risks. I coordinate with foremen, Material Operations, Quality, and management to resolve issues through reorders, replacements, and Inspection Reports.

I'm pursuing an MBA while bringing business administration, public administration, historical research, and practical production-planning experience to complex operations.
