Senior Research Analyst for an Army Aviation Portfolio project that provided the Army Office of Analytics and Integration (OAI) and Army Aviation (G8-FDV) with insights that will impact long-term future budgetary decisions based on detailed and thorough analysis.
Led a team of fifteen personnel across three directorates in two geographically dispersed locations to conduct cross portfolio analysis that included force development, cost analysis, and scenario development to inform ongoing Army Analytic Priorities.
Designed and implemented processes to develop and refine all current and future study Data Collection Management Plan (DCMP) and Essential Elements of Analysis (EEAs).
Awarded for best presentation at the Army Operations Research Symposium (AORS) in September 2023.
Published a paper with the Winter Simulation Conference in August 2023 and and is available for review in the Research Gate Database.
Developed the Risk methodology for the Balancing Aviation Modernization study to inform senior leaders of the potential severity of impact on aviation operations, budget, timelines, and platforms.
Identified critical data sources for collecting Apache ammunition data to develop an Attack Guidance Matrix (AGM) for aviation munitions. This matrix provided senior leadership insights into aviation munitions, identifying those with optimal lethality and cost-effectiveness, as well as less frequently used ones with reduced lethality and higher costs.
I am currently engaged in the development of my dissertation for my PhD in Organizational Leadership and have achieved ABD (All But Dissertation) status.
