With over two decades of dedication, my career spans from molding young minds in primary school to instilling discipline within the U.S. Coast Guard. I've demonstrated commitment to behavior management and staff development, skills that I've honed throughout my years of service. In my role as a First Grade Teacher and as a Petty Officer First Class, I've embraced the challenge of fostering learning and growth. My field of expertise in educational technology, coupled with my experience in classroom instruction, positions me uniquely to contribute to environments where development and education intersect. My values align seamlessly with organizations seeking to empower and educate with innovation and compassion. Surge Staffing in the Coast Guard refers to the temporary increase in personnel to meet specific operational needs or to provide additional support during heightened operational periods. The "SSS qualification" I hold in the Coast Guard designates my qualifications and experience necessary for personnel to be part of the Sector Support Staff bringing members aboard during periods when additional staffing is needed. This involves specific skills, training, and readiness to deploy quickly to support various Coast Guard missions and operations. Within this environment I receive employee criteria forms from numerous departments with immediate needs. I run reports in our Human Resource Data System as well as our Learning Management System to find the top qualified matches for the needed positions. Further, honing down and ultimately selecting the best candidates for the position all within a very short time frame of days as deadlines are imperative in these dynamic mobilization settings. My job rating as a Yeoman in the CG has given me extensive experience in creating travel orders, arrangements, travel claims, working with payroll, insurance and educational requirements for all Coast Guard members ranging from newly enlisted to high ranking officers. I frequently reconcile information from multiple human resource tracking systems. I am skilled in successfully building rapport, trust and relationships anew annually with students and their families. A challenging feat with a myriad of personalities, educational levels and social statuses. The skills and experience I hold with interpersonal relationships, leading/guiding others, training, teaching, collecting and analyzing data, meeting deadlines, collaborating are extensive and interwoven in my dual careers. I have the ability to readily adapt and apply these skills and more to any new setting.
