Faa Headquarters, Washington D.C.

I am now working with policies and implementation. As part of the Business Utilization Resource Standardization and Technology (BURST) team, we’re capabe of building incredible products and deploying them. I was brought into this role because I’m recognized as having a business acumen where I understand how to proceed from one process to another more effective process because of my innate ability to identify inaccuracies or incorrectness in process flows.An example includes how I took a 1-page static sheet of information and turned it into a highly functioning web-based interactive drill-down dashboard that went from HQ level to service-area level to district level to ATM level to Area level.One of my current innovations is building a road map for data governance that includes data quality, stewardship, documentation, verification, and validation that helps all effected entities have trusted information they need to collaborate and improve the of the safety of flight. I’m helping train, educate, and advise personnel on how to gain trust – with contractors, users and each other up and down the chain of command. I’m able to bring together disparate parties to engage on a common topic and come up with the most viable solutions.I’m a facilitator and an innovator that will push ideas. When I recognize and express room for improvement I’m also providing solutions.Many people above and below me in title and responsibilities, tell me that they look to me as an example. I’m humbled to be considered that way and will continue influencing as best I can.

Operational Supervisor for one of the most dynamic and complex enroute areas in the NAS. Area B in Boston ARTCC is responsible for over 40 uncontrolled airports, the sequencing and spacing of New York Metro and Boston area airports, international flow, and Canadian weather offload routes provided to New York, Washington D.C., and eastern seaboard airports. Identified a deficiency in the ZBW/A90 LOA which with recommended correction now ensures safe transition from terminal to enroute. During a CAATS failure, identified an ability to utilize the TSD by showing flight plan information which was not being updated on the URET. Developed a procedure for the area to use when PIREPs were required to be solicited leading to an increase of reporting and awareness for surrounding sectors, CWSU and the OM. Utilized experience working heavy military operations in the Adirondack military complex as an area A controller in the implementation and operation of a brand-new military operating area designed for the new F35 operations. As the area training supervisor, designed, developed, and administered the first ZBW SDT request since the implementation of the new training order. Developed brand new OJT position checklists. Proposed, designed, and implemented an electronic filing system. As a CIC/TMU CIC instructor augmented the course to include an AISR briefing and TMU familiarization training.As traffic management liaison identified tools available including analyzing MAP values and adjusting for unorthodox sector configurations. Designed the OS desk traffic situation display to be simpler to understand and easier to navigate including route finder, departure fix list, flight examination area, flight list build, and weather depiction. The use of the TSD was taught to numerous facility personnel including other supervisors, OMs, CICs, and controllers looking for insight. Developed a TMU familiarization curriculum for all certified controllers.

United States

Provided dynamic real-time and future planning for the National Airspace System using national- and facility-based traffic management initiatives. Responsibilities included:Ensuring proper military coordination and accuracy. Developing international route structures. Coordinating with multiple en route and terminal facilities, and the Command Center. Communicating and developing plans with multiple international facilities. Utilizing advanced configuration settings to develop superstreams to provide accurate time-based spacing of aircraft to a point in space and to a runway threshold – providing a safer and more efficient flow of traffic. Using tools to forecast traffic and develop flow evaluation areas that enable us to recognize increased demand or excessive traffic flow patterns. Developing plans to reroute and/or slow traffic flow through congested areas, to reduce airborne holding by using less-congested sectors. Maintaining a constant awareness of multiple elements of the NAS, including military airspace and its impact on the safe flow of air traffic. Vigilantly observing weather conditions to proactively reroute aircraft around hazardous conditions, enhancing overall safety and reducing delays. Clearly communicating to the unit and adjacent facilities needing assistance. Coordinating with Central Altitude Reservation Function and Northeast Air Defense Sector to deconflict military operations.Assigned as Boston Center Subject Matter Expert on airborne reroute/predeparture reroute (ABRR/PDRR), responsible for the initial integration of the facility and employee training.

Mcguire Afb

McGuire was a primary cargo and tanker base tasked with refueling, troop movement, and supply transport after September 11, 2001. McGuire’s airspace is surrounded by New York TRACON and Center, Philadelphia TRACON, and Washington Center, and then took on an enormous influx of traffic to support the efforts overseas.I was called up to provide support at McGuire AFB for Operation Noble Eagle and was the only person on the team dually certified in TRACON and Tower, meaning I could work RADAR or in the tower.As Watch Supervisor I was in the facility to do whatever was needed. Because of my dedication to knowing my roles, I spent time off the job learning and building my skillset. It benefited me in that I was checked out in the tower in three days and running operations. Once I moved to RADAR, I was checked out in under a week, an unheard-of rapid amount of time.I had a positive impact on the airmen there and changed a lot of their perspectives – they came to realize they were each capable of more than they ever thought they were. It was inspiring to know I helped them grow a lot in their roles and toward their futures.In my supervisory role, I recognized and alerted upper management to a systemic problem of misapplication of wake turbulence separation between aircraft landing and departing from intersecting runway courses. This received national attention and was quickly corrected.

Belkeshir Ab, Turkey

Provided supervision in conjunction with Turkish military supervisors for the operation of Turkish and American fighter jet, cargo, and helicopter operations.Rapidly learned the unique operational procedures specific to the region so I could train American controllers.As supervisor in a foreign facility, I used my leadership skills to liaise with Turkish and NATO personnel and dedicated myself to learn the customs and language of military and civilian personnel. I was nominated for the training achievement award for excellence in spearheading the development of the Tower training package.

Taszar Ab, Hungary

Awarded Meritorious Service MedalAssigned to the 4400th Operations Squadron (Provisional). Mobilized and deployed the first MPN-14K Mobile Radar Approach Control (RAPCON) in a real-world contingency. Provided operations for the largest airlift since the Berlin airlift.Upon arrival, host base support was virtually non-existent. Our initiative and improvisations to overcome severe logistical shortfalls, allowed us to install the equipment in blizzard conditions, and had equipment ready for flight check within 48 hours. Initial workdays lasted from 18-20 hours. Professional expertise allowed improvised work-arounds to ensure equipment operation. With spare parts virtually nonexistent, know-how and ingenuity were the order of the day to ensure mission accomplishment. We ensured the safe landing of over 550 cargo aircraft, 4,200 passengers, and 10,000 tons of cargo. Without this capability, there would not have been any aircraft operations for weeks during the winter. Ensured the safe, orderly, and expeditious flow of U.S. Air Force airlift, U.S. Army fixed and rotary wing aircraft, Hungarian MIG-21, MI-8 helicopters and Russian MIG-29 aircraft. Provided a nearby Army airfield with all-weather landing capability for mission helicopters. During my limited time out of the operation, I took the initiative to learn functional Hungarian and establish relationships with foreign civilian and military personnel. I made visits to a local orphanage and became a positive American role model in the local community.
