Summary
As an Active Duty Staff Sergeant (E-5) in the United States Air Force, I currently lead the Execution Support section within the 99 Civil Engineer Squadron at Nellis AFB, overseeing a high-performing team of military, civilian, and contract staff. My expertise spans Geographic Information Systems (GIS), Computer-Aided Drafting (CAD), Land Surveying, Information Technology (IT), and, notably, Project Management, where I've successfully delivered complex projects, ensuring operational excellence and innovation.
My approach to leadership emphasizes strategic communication, collaboration, and organizational acuity, fostering an environment where team members thrive on mutual respect and a commitment to continuous improvement.
As I transition from the Air Force, I am keen to leverage my broad skill set in the civilian/private sector. My goal is to explore opportunities beyond civil engineering, including technology, project management, and consulting. With a track record of driving success in diverse and challenging environments, I am excited to bring my discipline, adaptability, and strategic thinking to new industries, contributing to meaningful projects and innovation.
