Message

At United States Air Force, I manage 15-unit program managers, conduct compliance inspections, and publish weekly and monthly analytic reports.

As Program Manager at Dover Air Force Base, DE, I coordinated and inspected 15 units for the base commander. I designed inspection plans, published reports, facilitated training, and planned a combat readiness exercise for a 500-member workforce.

At Dover Air Force Base, DE, I directed a 50-member team supporting daily flying operations for 18 C-5 aircraft. I also led an eight-person deployment team for Middle East operations, tracking and generating 96 aircraft missions in six months.

My earlier work includes managing onboarding, training records, and a $500K annual travel budget at Dover Air Force Base, DE, and managing tools and equipment for 14 C-130J aircraft at Yokota Air Base, Tokyo, Japan. I hold a Master of Science in Computer and Information Systems Security/Information Assurance from Central Michigan University, with Project Management listed in the program description.
