Summary
I was a oxygen shop work center supervisor in the Marine Corps, along with a Collateral Duty Inspector, which allowed me to sign off on gear to issue it out to the flightline. I'm confident in my abilities to finish my assigned tasks, and perform at the best of my ability. I am dedicated to growing my skills and learning more.

Leadership Experience
In the Marines, I rewrote a wire routing method that originally would cause wires to chafe and total the part due to no reparability methods. I fixed the issue with assistance from aviation engineers by taking new photographs of my method and informed them the $12,000 price on the gear that would become useless due to the incorrect procedure in our publication. Now anytime there is an unlikely chafe of the wires, any Oxygen Shop throughout the Marine Corps can bring the gear to the electronics shop to get it repaired rather than replacing the entire part saving possibly hundreds of thousands of dollars.
