Career Highlights

Master’s in Homeland Security and Emergency Management and a professional certification in Business Continuity Management, bringing a wealth of diverse experience. I have incident command and leadership experience as a US Army Officer, Deputy Incident Commander, Operations Section Chief, Liaison Officer, Safety Officer, Operations Section Chief, Recovery Branch Director (PA & IA), and Planning Section Chief. My emergency management experience is extensive and includes nearly every type of disaster, including COVID-19; I have credentials in nearly every ICS position as well as long-term recovery coordination, and exercise planning (HSEEP). My disaster response and recovery experience were gained through municipal, state, federal and tribal governments as well as in the Private industry (Oil field exploration and drilling). I also bring emergency volunteer experience after two years in the impoverished areas of Argentina helping rebuild flood damaged housing and teaching English. With excellent oral and written communication skills, diversified knowledge of emergency response planning, information systems security, business continuity, emergency management, safety, and environmental regulations, I bring strong significant value to any team. My performance records show I am well-regarded by my peers for my broad subject matter knowledge, technical writing, and critical thinking. My previous supervisors appreciate my ability to be organized, disciplined, influential, and adaptable to any change.
