During my 26 year Navy career, not only did I serve my country, but was able to scale the ranks all the way up to the top 2% of the enlisted community. I earned my Enlisted Aviation and Surface warfare designations, and was a sought after Sailor, hand selected to numerous tip of the spear jobs that nobody else wanted to take. I embraced sea time, and never turned down the difficult job. My work ethic speaks volumes, not by the job that I did, but by the Sailors that I made a positive impact with to be successful.
I am a detail-oriented team player with strong organizational skills. I have the ability to handle multiple projects simultaneously with a high degree of accuracy. I thrive under pressure, and pride myself on delivering a top-quality product.
My Navy career has sculpted me into the person I am today. I am a teacher assistant right now, and fully believe in training and molding the next person. On an every day basis, I utilize the values I learned and embraced in the Navy, and put them to use in guiding the future of tomorrow.
