What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that challenges my leadership skills and allows for continuous improvement and innovation.

With over two decades of experience in the United States Air Force, I have honed my leadership and problem-solving skills to drive organizational success. My tenure involved balancing mission requirements with personnel management, ensuring that maintenance actions were executed efficiently while providing technical expertise to my team.

As an Air Force Smart Operations instructor, I taught seminars that expanded individual awareness and equipped personnel with essential problem-solving techniques. My ability to scrutinize maintenance performance indicators allowed me to identify adverse trends and implement corrective actions effectively. I have facilitated senior leader working groups, where I identified unit inefficiencies and made impactful process improvement recommendations.

In addition to my military experience, I have been actively involved in volunteer leadership roles, including serving as the President of the Nellis Top III Organization, where I presided over numerous committee events and charity drives. My commitment to excellence and continuous improvement has been recognized by senior leaders, and I am eager to leverage my skills in a new role that values innovation and leadership.
