Since my earliest recollections, aviation has captivated my imagination, undoubtedly influenced by both of my parents, who are private pilots. Moreover, my father's involvement in numerous overseas airport projects further nurtured my passion for the field. As a result, I had the privilege of living abroad, primarily in the Middle East and Asia, during my formative years. This unique upbringing instilled a deep sense of adaptability, a genuine understanding of different cultures, and a natural inclination toward problem-solving. These invaluable qualities have been pivotal in my career journey, particularly in fostering enduring relationships with overseas manufacturing partners.I have acquired a diverse range of expertise throughout my career. Most recently, I am proud to hold a current Part 107 and a Trusted Operator Program (TOP), Level 3 Certification from the Association of Uncrewed Vehicles International (AUVSI). My B.S. in Unmanned Systems Applications on the Development track with a minor in Small Unmanned Aircraft System Operation from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University will conclude in July 2023. Thus far, I have maintained a GPA of 4.0 and expect to graduate Summa Cum Laude. My education has provided extensive knowledge in mission planning and execution, aviation safety, UAS legal compliance, advanced sensing technologies, and autonomous operations. I aim to enroll in the Master of Unmanned and Autonomous Systems Engineering program at Embry-Riddle this fall on a part-time basis.Previously as President of PosterGarden from 2014 to 2022, I oversaw all aspects of the company's operations, including training, sales, marketing, production, and finance. With a team of 20-30 employees, we achieved impressive annual revenues of $4-5 million. My dedication to delivering exceptional customer service resulted in consistently high ratings, and I developed strong relationships with stakeholders through effective communication and consistent leadership.Before this, I served as the VP of Operations at PosterGarden from 2004 to 2014. During this time, I spearheaded operational expansion, developing robust production systems and establishing reliable relationships with domestic and overseas manufacturers and suppliers. I played a pivotal role in the company's growth, expanding our footprint and enhancing our production capabilities.I reside in Portland, Oregon, and am open to a domestic or international relocation should a mutually beneficial opportunity arise, allowing a lasting contribution to any enterprise.
