Summary
Dependable air traffic controller with a proven ability to communicate clearly and effectively during high-pressure situations. Also with prior history in food service, I'm equipped with skill in tactful kind-hearted customer service and proficient team collaboration. Efficient in solo work, garnished with a rock solid work ethic, and instilled with a keen sense of urgency. With my experience of being ATC in the military, I became familiar with how to be a proper leader and teacher to my colleagues, both above and below in professional and personal capacities. Instilled in me are the three core values of being a Marine: Honor, Courage, and Commitment, the hallmarks of a reliable worker and teammate.
