What I'm looking for

I am seeking leadership roles where I can apply military logistics and planning experience to improve operational efficiency, lead large teams, and manage complex contracts and budgets.

I am a results-oriented operations and logistics leader with extensive military and civilian experience leading large organizations and complex global supply chains.

I have managed multi-million-dollar budgets, directed large teams in deployed environments, and executed rapid, high-stakes operational plans while improving processes and accountability.

My work includes overseeing contract and intake site logistics, developing logistics requirements for future force concepts, and authoring modeling research that increased team visibility and collaboration.

I hold graduate degrees in strategic studies and acquisitions, a Lean Six Sigma Black Belt, and I seek to apply military planning and execution expertise to leadership roles in civilian organizations.
