Summary

I’m a disciplined and motivated Cadet at Virginia Tech’s military leadership college, preparing to join the Army Reserves in two years while building a career in commercial aviation. With an associate degree in Manufacturing Engineering and a strong background in culinary arts from growing up in a family-run food business, I bring a unique blend of technical skills, customer service excellence, and attention to food safety. Leadership is central to my development, as I actively mentor and collaborate with peers within a structured chain of command. I excel at working with diverse teams, adapting to challenges, and delivering high-quality results both in fast-paced environments and structured settings.
