Security Clearance: Top Secret Clearance

Work Experience:

I like to do hard things.

Embracing hard challenges has been the cornerstone of my life. As I transition to the civilian sector from a military career as an infantry officer, I bring with me a wealth of experience and resiliency navigating the toughest terrains. From leading teams into combat to integrating global operations for homeland defense to mastering the art of negotiation with my toddler, I’ve honed key strengths in leadership, team building, strategic planning, and training.

I’m ready to take on my next hard thing. I’m looking for roles in Operations, Project Management, or Learning & Development where I can continue to serve my community and drive impactful change.
