To obtain a position as a Quality Assurance Specialist (Chemicals) with the Defense Logistics Agency, leveraging my academic background in chemical engineering, military logistics experience, and technical certifications to ensure the quality, compliance, and safety of chemical materials supporting national defense missions.

Situation: My unit is currently preparing for OLS redeployment and had several discrepancies in chemical inventory.

Task: I was responsible for reconciling the inventory and ensuring compliance with hazardous material regulations.

Action: I cross-referenced digital records in GCSS-Army with physical inventories, identified mislabeled materials, and re-trained personnel on chemical labeling standards.

Result: Reduced inventory errors by 95% and passed our OLS redeployment inspection with zero deficiencies.

I was awarded the Texas Medal of Merit for outstanding performance and leadership during a critical logistics mission while serving in the Operation Lone Star mission in El Paso, Texas with the Texas Military Forces.

The situation involved a rapid deployment readiness operation where my unit was responsible for inventorying and distributing mission-essential supplies, including sensitive items and chemical materials.

As the logistics Clerk, I was tasked with overseeing the accountability, inspection, and secure transport of over $5 million worth of equipment. We were operating on a tight timeline, and failure to meet standards would have delayed the entire mission.

I led a small team to conduct 100% physical inventory checks, coordinated transportation logistics, and ensured all hazardous materials were properly labeled and handled per DOD and OSHA standards. I also implemented a real-time tracking system to prevent delays.

As a result, we completed the mission with zero discrepancies or safety incidents, passed all command inspections, and set the standard for other units in our battalion.

The award recognized not just the technical execution, but the initiative, attention to detail, and leadership I demonstrated under pressure. Those same qualities—especially in logistics, compliance, and quality control—are what I bring to a role like Quality Assurance with DLA.
