Summary
I bring 20 years of experience leading high-stakes training programs, quality assurance operations, and safety compliance in aviation ordnance environments. I've supervised teams of 30+ personnel, maintained zero-loss accountability on high-value assets, and developed curriculum that trained hundreds of personnel annually to meet rigorous operational standards. Currently holding an active Secret clearance through 2027, I'm ready to apply my expertise in safety management, technical training, and team leadership to civilian aviation maintenance and operations roles.
