Summary
As a submarine officer, I thrive in high-stakes environments that demand precision, adaptability, and teamwork. My experience has honed my ability to think critically under pressure, navigate complex challenges, and lead cross-functional teams as an operations supervisor and program manager. I have demonstrated technical program management experience and extreme attention to detail from the oversight of various nuclear maintenance and sensitive materials programs, crucial to ship operations.
