What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that leverage my expertise in defense technology and human performance, ideally in a collaborative environment that values innovation and mission readiness.

As a defense program manager with over 20 years of experience in Special Operations and human performance innovation, I have a proven track record of successfully managing cutting-edge defense projects. My expertise lies in integrating emerging technologies such as AI, 5G, XR, and IoT into military applications, ensuring that our forces are equipped with the best tools for mission success.

Throughout my career, I have excelled in bridging the gap between operators, engineers, and clinical experts. My role as a Lead Associate at Booz Allen Hamilton has allowed me to lead the integration of advanced technologies into military medical systems, shaping user-centric product development through operational use cases. I am passionate about enhancing combat medical readiness and optimizing human performance in high-stakes environments.
