What I'm looking for

I excel in real-time decision-making and emergency response coordination, ensuring the safety and efficiency of operations.

Throughout my career, I have demonstrated my ability to relay and disseminate critical information between operators, supervisors, and field responders. My roles have included working as an Air Traffic Control Specialist with the Federal Aviation Administration and the United States Air Force, where I coordinated safe aircraft movements and collaborated with emergency response teams. I am committed to maintaining high standards of communication and operational readiness in all my endeavors.
