| Biography: | My ATC career began upon joining the United States Air Force in 2018. I completed my first Air Traffic qualification in the Terminal Radar at my first duty station; Nellis AFB, Las Vegas NV. In addition to the Terminal, I earned several other qualifications including but not limited to En-route, and Watch Supervisor. I served two tours overseas for Operation Inherent Resolve controlling U.S. and Foreign aircraft utilizing ICAO standards for a change. In addition to my military career, in 2023 I began controlling as a civilian in the Department of Defense at the Crater Lake Regional Airport and earned qualifications as a Control Tower Operator. I am now an Air Traffic Control Specialist/Lecturer at Middle Georgia State University (Heart of Georgia Regional Airport). |
| Teaching and Research Interests: | I am looking forward to progressing my knowledge at Middle Georgia State University and accomplishing a Master's Degree in Aviation Management so I can grow as a lecturer and future professor. I am interested in training new controllers and hope to put my ATC skills to use. |
