I believe in exceptional quality, communication, and passion. I began my career in Aerospace in college through hard work and probably a little luck. I was accepted into a Co-Op position through CSUN where I had the opportunity to work for Aerojet Rocketdyne as a Subcontract Associate and learn the ins and outs of the industry and the job. I discovered my love for purchasing as it was a fun and challenging new experience for me. After I graduated and my Co-Op came to a close, I decided to continue in the industry and took as job with Lockheed Martin's Skunkworks. I have learned to become a more diverse buyer and a more well-rounded employee. Not only have I had the opportunity to learn from excellent mentors, but I have become a mentor and a team lead myself as I train others. I am always looking for more to learn. Outside of work, I am a Toastmaster!
