Facilitate seminars and group discussions by providing informative instruction on subject matter including chemistry control

anomalies, radiological control problem-solving, and basic nuclear engineering theory and application. Preside over the training

of more than 300 nuclear trainees on various aspects of nuclear power plant operations encompassing preventative maintenance and

repair, chemistry control, chemical adjustments, radiological controls, environmental implications, and fluid theory and

dynamics. Spearhead staff instructor in developing training curriculum and overhaul of the chemistry and radiological control

training program for all nuclear trainees; thus enhancing overall instructor efficiency and readiness.

Notable Accomplishments:

- Leveraged industry expertise in planning and organizing more than 400 casualty scenarios; as well as evaluating watch

stander response on chemistry, radiological controls, and medical response.

- Earned recognition to represent Reactor Laboratories on the Propulsion Plant Drill Team (PPDT), to which only 2 of 20

ELTs reach annually.

- Applied expertise in drafting level of knowledge spot check packages covering nuclear theory, power plant operations,

and electrical distribution theory-based packages.

- Served as an effective personnel representative for all nuclear trainees to coordinate and resolve all personal issues

along with training integrity and professional development.

Chief Reactor Watch/Reactor Auxiliaries Room Supervisor, Operations and Maintenance Jan 2009–Present

Provide direction and oversight to a team of five employees in all facets of propulsion plant operation, emergency responses,

mission critical maintenance, and complex operations. Demonstrate skills in effectively providing supervisory control of

maintenance and repair of all applicable equipment to ensure safe operations.

Reactor Laboratories Work Center Supervisor/ Compliance Manager, Chemistry/Radiation Protection Nov 2012–2013

Directed all aspects of water chemistry for the reactor and secondary systems and all radiological controls for one operational

nuclear power plant. Ascertained absolute compliance with type commander and Naval Reactors guidelines, including water

chemistry trend analysis (reactor coolant and secondary plant boilers and feed water), ship demineralized water system

integrity, radiological work practice and documentation, secondary shielding integrity inspection, chemical supply inventory and

logistics, and radiological survey methods. Served as an effective program manager for the management and regulatory compliance

of the storage and disposal of more than 300 pieces of radioactive material produced by the USS Nimitz, with a score of

“Outstanding” on the Reactor Safeguard Examination. Performed preventative and corrective maintenance and provided oversight to

seven personnel, including training for quality control and work output. Closely monitored all radiological survey instruments

calibration.

Notable Accomplishments:

- Played pivotal role as nuclear grade mechanic on board the USS Nimitz and Engineering Laboratory Technician (ELT) for

two nuclear power plants.

- Served as the driving force in obtaining calibration program with 0% deficiency audit during the annual Reactor

Safeguard Examination; thus maintaining overall departmental score on the exam.

- Exhibited superior talent in leading a team in the successful execution of 125 maintenance items which resulted in a

score of “Above Average” on the chemistry and radiological controls section during annual Reactor Safeguard Examination for one

nuclear power plant.

- Distributed and tracked radiation monitoring devices to record and maintain total exposure rates to all personnel who

were being exposed to radiation; while guaranteeing satisfactory radiation health requirements.
