Summary
As a member of the United States Navy, I acquired a vast knowledge of Electronics and operational procedure and protocol. I was advanced in promotion ahead of schedule in a tough field as an Electronics Technician (ETN2) without the normal formal training required to progress. At the time it was deemed I had surpassed the requirements for normal promotional progression. The Navy also taught me discipline and respect for authority. Honorable Discharge attained.
While at AT&T I was a skilled Data Transmission Technician briefly and then a Results-oriented Engineering Area Manager. I offered demonstrated success in building and motivating dynamic teams and cultivating a workplace culture rooted in open communication and idea-sharing. I was highly motivated with proven history of implementing process improvement initiatives to drive growth and revenue, bringing a client-focused attitude with aptitude for strategic thinking and creative problem-solving.
