After college, I moved to a new city and a new company without hesitation. I started this job in an unfamiliar industry and had to quickly get up to speed with the terminology, processes and procedures. I was responsible for tracking National Missile Defense test and evaluation issues and activities for the Chief Architect/Engineer. After a short amount of time, I was working independently and executing my job responsibilities solidly. I also prepared policy memorandums, presentations and white papers on test and evaluation issues and quickly became an integral team member, working with internal and external customers at all levels.
