Joint Strategic Technologies
Dear Hiring Manager,
I am writing to express my interest in the Executive Assistant position at the Joint Navigation Warfare Center. My background in administrative support within federal and defense environments has equipped me with the skills necessary to contribute effectively to your team.
Currently, I serve as a Senior Administrative Assistant at Lockheed Martin Space, where I manage director-level calendars, coordinate classified and unclassified meetings, and arrange travel in accordance with established security protocols. In my previous role at Leidos/NNSA, I supported multiple federal employees and contractors by maintaining secure records, scheduling meetings, and streamlining administrative processes. My experience with Microsoft Office Suite, SharePoint, and related systems, along with my role in training colleagues, aligns well with the Task Management Tool responsibilities outlined in the job description.
I am comfortable working independently with minimal oversight while also contributing in a team-oriented environment. My active DOD TS clearance (renewed 2024) further supports my suitability for this role, allowing me to handle sensitive information and comply with rigorous security requirements.
Thank you for reviewing my application. I look forward to the opportunity to discuss in further detail how my experience and skills can support the operational and strategic goals of the Joint Navigation Warfare Center.
Sincerely,
Juana Jenny Chavez
