Experience:
United States Marine Corps 2004-2008

As a United States Marine, I was a helicopter mechanic and Plane Captain, with
standard security clearance. I was responsible for the maintenance and mechanical
upkeep of Huey and Cobra helicopters. As an E4/Cpl I was an NCO which put me into a
position of leadership over my fellow Marines. I participated in the Mentor Program and
was required to spend time with and mentor Junior Marines monthly.

Line Leader- Ann’s House of Nuts December 2008- February 2009

During my time at Ann’s House of Nuts, I was trained on several different

packaging machines such as the Hayssen, Roberts, and Laudenburg. I oversaw the work
of thirteen other employees who worked daily on my assigned machine. I used my
military mentoring abilities to communicate and mediate through issues my team and I
came across.

H1 Helicopter Mechanic- AGS/AECOM Cherry Point, NC February 2009-February 2010

As Safety Advisor, I attended meetings twice a month in which current

regulations and safety issues were discussed. I then took my retained information back to
my fellow employees and conducted weekly meetings alongside the Head Safety
Advisor, instructing them on the information previously presented. As an H1 Helicopter
Mechanic I repaired aircraft segments such as the drive-train, power plants, flight
controls, fuel systems, and all other mechanical components. Occasionally we would be
required to completely disassemble a particular aircraft in order to remanufacture it into a
four-bladed H1 Helicopter. As an Artisan I was also qualified to have, on-hand, a stamp
used for certifying work and kept a clean and organized personal work space and tool
box.
