Proactive, accountable, and communicative, I approach all tasks with positivity and the openness to adapt when necessary. My military experience has instilled in me a passion for leading with empathy and with a clear goal in mind, and above all, to focus on critical success factors.As a former major in the US Army, I directed the daily operations for primary missile defense readiness and extreme cold resiliency missions at Fort Greely, Alaska. With oversight of more than $900M in strategic assets, I managed the operations, logistics, and supply chain to ensure optimal efficiency and performance. With the understanding that the whole is only as strong as its parts, I endeavor to mentor and teach individuals, and embrace their unique abilities and insights. To ensure success for all, I consistently lead by example, listen actively, and advocate for my team. I am a believer in team first, mission always. I am eager to lend my skills, experience, and leadership qualities to the private sector.
