• Assistant Regional Property Support Officer.

United States Coast Guard (USCG).

• While managing property operations for the Lake Michigan region, I was responsible for overseeing all real and personal property across 17 units. To ensure accurate accountability, I implemented standardized tracking systems, and conducted regular audits, which led to improved reporting accuracy and regional compliance.
• As the designated Government Purchase Card Holder for 10 units, I was tasked with handling procurement needs efficiently. I processed 658 requisitions using Oracle and Excel, adhering strictly to procurement guidelines, which resulted in the successful management of $504,781.66 in purchases, with zero audit discrepancies.
• When faced with the challenge of coordinating data and communications across multiple teams, I consistently used Microsoft Word, Excel, Teams, Adobe Acrobat, and Oracle Systems to streamline workflows. This improved productivity and reduced reporting delays across all supported units.
• Recognizing a need to improve team cohesion and foster a more inclusive workplace culture, I volunteered for additional responsibilities and became an active member of both the unit’s Leadership Diversity Advisory Council and Morale Committee. Through these roles, I organized and led multiple team-building and inclusive events, which significantly boosted morale and promoted a stronger sense of unity.
