What I'm looking for

I'm looking to apply my military logistics, homeland security, emergency management, and operational planning experience in a mission-focused role supporting teams, compliance, readiness, and large-scale operations.

I've supported U.S. Army, USAREUR-AF, and NATO operations in Italy and Kosovo, coordinating personnel movement, travel, logistics, and mission-critical resources.

As an Airport Liaison Team Leader in Vicenza, I assisted 300–400 personnel each week, coordinated more than 500 annual personnel movements, and briefed over 500 incoming personnel annually on the Army Continuing Education System. I also advised service members on security threats following counterterrorism and recovery exercises, strengthening force-protection awareness for more than 15,000 personnel.

In supervisory and accountable-officer roles, I planned and executed logistics exercises, fuel operations, and joint operations with Bulgaria, Germany, and Hungary. My work supported 3,000+ personnel in Kosovo, maintained 95% operational readiness, achieved 100% inspection and audit readiness, and increased productivity by 25%.

I'm grounded in logistics, homeland security, emergency management, regulatory compliance, and team leadership, supported by advanced degrees in Homeland Security and Emergency Management and Disaster.
