Experience
My experience is shaped by four years of military leadership in aviation ordnance and early exposure to industrial manufacturing and logistics. I’ve worked in environments that demand precision, safety, and accountability, building a foundation in technical operations, team coordination, and problem-solving that I’m now applying toward a career in aerospace and defense operations.
United States Marine Corps — Leadership and Team Management
I served in leadership roles that required discipline, accountability, and consistent performance. As a Certified Team Leader and Collateral Duty Inspector, I supported the training and supervision of Marines responsible for maintaining aviation ordnance and support equipment. These roles strengthened my ability to coordinate teams, manage priorities under pressure, and uphold high standards of safety and operational readiness.
United States Marine Corps — Technical and Operational Experience
My work as a Quality Assurance Safety Observer and final inspector involved ensuring aircraft were safe for flight, resolving time-sensitive discrepancies, and supporting high-tempo flight operations. I regularly worked with mission-critical systems, maintained strict compliance with safety protocols, and adapted quickly to evolving operational needs. This experience built a strong foundation in technical accuracy, problem-solving, and performance under demanding timelines.
F.L.Smidth Internship - Manufacturing and Machining
During my machine shop internship at F.L. Smidth, I was introduced to CNC machining, tooling setups, and basic manufacturing workflows. This experience gave me early exposure to how industrial equipment operates and how machining processes fit into larger production environments.
F.L. Smidth Internships - Logistics and Supply Chain
My logistics internship provided an introduction to shipment coordination, material movement, and general warehouse organization. I assisted with basic documentation and observed how logistics teams manage inventory, track materials, and keep operations running smoothly.
