Skills:

  • Java - My studies have mainly focused on using Java to tackle OOP-based problems. Currently learning everything I can find that is Java based to take these lessons into more languages and concepts.
  • Critical Problem Solving - I've made many threat based decisions to protect assets and personnel. Including tornado warnings to allow people to shelter in place. One such event required me me to issue a tornado warning for my own base. I stayed behind to monitor the tornado and ensure the warning was properly recieved and acted on.
  • Communication Skills - I've worked with many dfferent people from every walk of life. I've been trained in proper conflict resolution.
  • Versatile and Trainable - I was trained in six different positions with different responsibilities over my years in the Air Force: Weather Forecaster, Points Forecaster, Weather Floor Manager, Mission Weather Services, Weather Graphics Forecaster, and Flight Weather Briefer. This has allowed me to be a very versatile member of my team.
  • Resilient and Resourceful - Worked in three different workplaces and seven different positions and thrived in all of them. I will always find the appropriate information to ensure a project is completed properly and on time.
