What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that challenges my estimating skills and offers growth opportunities.

I am a dedicated professional with a strong background in estimating and pricing, particularly within the defense contracting sector. Currently, I serve as a Change Order Estimator at Bollinger Mississippi Shipbuilding, where I process change order estimates for significant projects like the Polar Security Cutter and T-AGS 67. My role involves creating comprehensive pricing models and basis of estimates, utilizing historical data to project costs, and ensuring compliance with government regulations.

My previous experience as a Lender Management Trainee at The Peoples Bank of Biloxi equipped me with valuable analytical skills, where I assisted in the underwriting process and communicated directly with customers. I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Economics from Mississippi State University and have consistently demonstrated my commitment to excellence through my academic achievements and extracurricular involvement. I am passionate about leveraging my skills to contribute to an organization's success.
