I am an experienced Operations Officer with a demonstrated history of success while working in the military industry in the U.S. and Canada. I provide strong Leadership and wield many skills, among them Operations and Program Management, knowledge of Power Plants, Academic Writing, Training, and Communications with a Master of Arts in History from American University. My vision is to join a company in an impactful management role where I can influence individuals and decision-making in such a way that everyone involved is made better. My leadership experience includes 16 years as a naval officer. I have over 8 years directly supervising the operation and maintenance of shipboard (aircraft carrier and submarine) nuclear power generating systems and related steam propulsion and electrical systems. My previous jobs include Electrical Assistant (to the Engineer), Reactor Controls Assistant, Assistant Operations Officer, Navigator, Operations Officer, and Nuclear Weapons Safety Officer (NSO). In each of these positions, I have led either a Division of 8-14 people or a Department of 40+ personnel. While onboard a strategic ballistic missile submarine, I also oversaw the safety, surety, and security of the strategic weapons and navigation systems as the NSO.Most recently, I was assigned as a submarine exchange officer to the Canadian Submarine Force in Halifax. There I directed day-to-day operations for ships on Arctic and counter-drug missions. I also coordinated exercises and operations with our cross-Atlantic allies, including the UK, France, and Norway. I currently plan and schedule submarine operations as a Regional Employment Officer in Norfolk, Virginia.I am transitioning out of the military as I make arrangements to retire after 25 years of service. I envision myself leading change in an organization that has recognized a need for revitalization and/or managing either operations or some other vital department/program that requires a steady, sometimes subtle, hand.
