As a military officer at the United States Air Force, I lead teams of pilots, flight engineers and instructors who provide tactical airlift missions to support national security and humanitarian operations. With over 17 years of flying experience and a master's degree in aeronautical sciences, I have developed expertise in flight operations, safety, and training. I am also passionate about education, and I have served as an adjunct faculty at the University of Maryland Global Campus, teaching math to military students. My core competencies include leadership, communication, problem-solving, and collaboration. I am motivated by the mission of the USAF to fly, fight, and win, and I value integrity, service, and excellence. I strive to develop people, increase efficiency and effectiveness, and bring diverse perspectives and experiences to my team, empowering them to achieve their goals and potential.
