@seandouglas1
I coordinate civil affairs, multilingual intelligence, and crisis operations for national defense and public service.
What I'm looking for
I've supported U.S. Army Southern European Task Force–Africa operations in Vicenza, integrating civil information into Army systems and coordinating Civil Affairs engagements across Africa.
As Battle NCO for Sudan, Niger, and Lebanon evacuation operations, I organized joint-force efforts, maintained operational awareness using command-and-control platforms, and established procedures for current operations. I also served as the sole U.S. Army liaison to a French interministerial command post during Normandy ceremonies.
At IntelCenter, I wrote more than 350 reports on terrorism and insurgent incidents across the Sahel and Europe, monitoring French, Arabic, and English sources to identify patterns of violence. At FEMA, I've supported the National Watch Center and National Response Coordination Center during COVID-19, disaster, and border-response operations.
I'm a certified linguist in Modern Standard Arabic, Sudanese Arabic, French, and Italian, with more than nine years as a U.S. Army non-commissioned officer. I’m seeking public-service and national-defense work where I can apply international relations, multilingual research, operational coordination, and partner training.
