Professional Summary
I find science and engineering topics fascinating. I love mathematics. I am intrigued by aerospace engineering, chemical engineering, systems engineering, and computer science. I am interested in developing adaptive, high-performance systems, especially those involving automation technologies and technical information communication systems.
I earned my Bachelor of Science degree in Chemistry from Western Washington University. I completed an IBM Professional Certificate Course in Data Science. I hold a private pilot certificate and love aviation and flying airplanes.
I have experience in parachute packing, manufacturing, operations management, and team leadership in the parachute technology and indoor skydiving fields. I've packed thousands of parachutes, delivered world class customer service, and been the go-to expert in a number of roles. I have experience editing a monthly newsletter, providing tech support, writing technical documents, and managing website content.
Personal Summary
I am conscientious, industrious, and orderly. I value excellence, integrity, and the pursuit of high-quality, high-performance systems. I am especially effective at generating order in chaotic systems. I'm an innovative problem solver who loves to learn, explore and discover new things.
I bring a positive, optimistic attitude and enjoy inspiring others to pursue greatness. I am an eloquent, competent, and charismatic leader. I stand as a resolute pillar of strength for my team in constant, dynamic motion.
I love being productive with my time and efforts. I find satisfaction in completing tasks and projects. Having an active lifestyle is important to me. I'm properly happy when I am energetically moving forward.
I thrive in dynamic environments where challenges and changes in direction arise as a normal part of operations. I typically gravitate toward roles that involve strategy and contingency management. I love solving complex problems, working with abstract ideas, and understanding how things work at a fundamental level.
Recreational Interests
Bicycle and motorcycle adventures are good fun. I've skydived more than three hundred times. I kept honeybees for more than a decade.
I prefer cold weather and love the crispness of early autumn mornings. I like hiking in the Cascade Mountains.
I love to read. The shelves in my study are filled with a wide range of books. It is quite pleasent to curl up by the fire with a mug of hot chocolate and get lost in the pages of a book. I like to play chess and enjoy mind puzzles and mental gymnastics of all sorts.
Career Development
Engineering a Career Pivot
ResumeI'm looking to make a significant career pivot into data science or a similarly cognitively engaging field such as GNC Engineering. I'm seeking a company to join where I can effectively advance my career.
