As a Financial Comptroller at U.S. Coast Guard, I lead a 24-person team that oversees the budget execution of the largest operational unit in the agency, supporting 500 personnel and 14 aircraft. I manage a $6.5M annual operational budget, including $3.2M in government contracts, and a $31.5M annual fuel budget supporting 80+ operational units. I also provide sound and authoritative technical guidance on all issues related to the assigned program and troubleshoot for key management officials on a diverse range of issues, projects, or concerns.With 24 years of proven experience in the U.S. Coast Guard, I have developed extensive knowledge and skills in financial, resource, and project management. I hold an associate degree in government contract management, as well as three professional certifications: Certified Defense Financial Manager (CDFM), Project Management Professional (PMP), and Program Financial Manager (PFM). These credentials enable me to apply expert knowledge of contract acquisitions, project management, and fiscal and acquisitions oversight to achieve organizational goals and deliver value to stakeholders. My core competencies include budget execution, contract acquisition, program management, and critical thinking. I am motivated by the mission and vision of the U.S. Coast Guard and committed to excellence, integrity, and service.
