Summary

As an operations professional, I have a strong focus on team collaboration and achieving results. I have mentored and trained many soldiers in the 10 years that I have been in the New Jersey National Guard. I am a driven individual with a solid background in team coordination and operational excellence. I worked diligently as a preschool teacher while simultaneously obtaining my bachelors degree. I am currently looking to pursue a full time roll that I can contribute to and also help me develop as a professional.
