Dedicated aircraft mechanic with military experience and strong communication skills.
What I'm looking for
As an aircraft mechanic at Cirrus Aircraft, I have transitioned from military service to the civilian sector, where I perform maintenance on customer-owned aircraft. My military background has instilled in me a strong work ethic, determination, and the ability to communicate effectively with diverse teams. I am eager to explore new career paths that align with my skills and aspirations.
Previously, I served as an aircraft mechanic with the 148th Fighter Wing, where I maintained and inspected F-16 fighter jets. My responsibilities included troubleshooting complex systems and leading operational checkouts. I was recognized with the Air Force Commendation Medal for my contributions to tool accountability and maintenance during a deployment. This experience has shaped my leadership abilities and reinforced my commitment to excellence.
My early career began as a store associate at McDonald's, where I learned the importance of teamwork and communication in a fast-paced environment. I quickly advanced to training new employees, which boosted my confidence and honed my leadership skills. I am now looking for opportunities that allow me to leverage my technical expertise and interpersonal skills in a new direction.
