As an analytics expert with a background in metal fabrication and welding, I have been working as an EVM data analyst/scheduler at Sayres Defense since February 2022. I support the LPD and LHA programs with various tasks, such as creating and updating metrics, charts, briefs, and reports, researching past ship trends, and assisting in the creation of EACs. I also served as an EVM analyst for the LHA 9 IBR. I hold and maintain a secret clearance and have completed some engineering courses at Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College.Before joining Sayres Defense, I worked as a production planner and scheduler at Huntington Ingalls Industries, Inc., where I was responsible for the planning and scheduling of all HVAC systems on LPD ships. I oversaw special projects, completed change papers, allocated material, scoped engineering blueprints, and supported craft in the correction of field errors. Prior to that, I was a sheet metal mechanic at the same company, where I installed ventilation, intakes, uptakes, and exhaust systems on DDG ships, and held multiple welding certifications. I value teamwork, quality, and innovation, and I can bring diverse perspectives and experiences to any engineering project.
