As a results-driven leader with extensive experience in aviation operations, program management, and business development, I specialize in delivering complex, mission-critical solutions in challenging environments. Currently, as the Air Operations Manager for the Middle East, I oversee global aviation support for the U.S. Department of State's diverse fleet of rotary and fixed-wing aircraft in austere locations. My role involves managing cross-functional teams in dynamic crisis planning, ensuring operational excellence and customer satisfaction, and driving business growth.Before joining AAR, I served as Deputy Program Manager for ManTech, where I planned and executed end-of-mission recovery and contingency rescue operations for NASA astronauts in the Artemis, Commercial Crew, and Soyuz programs. I developed national level policy and seamlessly aligned the resources and objectives of the Department of Defense, NASA, and commercial space service providers.As a combat veteran and former Navy squadron and base commander, I developed critical skills that enabled me to lead effectively, manage risk, and solve problems, while my recent work with AAR and ManTech has taught me to navigate the complexities of government contracts. I bring an award-winning track record of success in building high-performance teams, driving innovation, delivering operational efficiencies, and fostering trusted relationships with stakeholders.
