Electrical Division Officer, Damage Control Assistant, Civil Rights/HR Officer, and Diversity Council Chair. Direct supervisor of 8 engineering technicians, project manager for major ship maintenance projects, and lead instructor in ship emergency procedures for 75 sailors.Managed all personnel during emergencies and led the crew through emergency responses and ship repairs at sea, calmly leading the crew in the midst of life-threatening conditions and saving 3 lives. Created a data-driven risk model that mapped progressive corrosion, found the locations which posed high risks for structural damage and flooding, and focused the crew’s periodic inspections on these high-risk locations, reducing the workload of the Engineering Department’s 20 personnel.Produced advanced ship stability and fuel consumption reports for the ship’s leadership team before 6 voyages and identified strategies for high-risk scenarios, removing uncertainty from operational planning.
