My e-portfolio is a reflection of my journey as a dedicated professional shaped by military service, academic achievement, and a strong commitment to public service. Through this platform, I aim to showcase the knowledge, skills, and real-world experience I have developed in the fields of human resources, negotiation, and organizational leadership. From serving as a Personnel Specialist in the Navy to pursuing a career in fire service, my path demonstrates a consistent drive to serve others, adapt, and lead with integrity. This portfolio is designed to highlight not only my academic accomplishments but also my practical abilities, personal growth, and readiness to contribute meaningfully to both corporate and community-focused environments.
I am currently serving in the United States Navy with over eight years of experience as a Personnel Specialist (PS). In this role, I manage a wide range of administrative, pay, and personnel functions critical to the operational readiness of my unit. My responsibilities include processing travel claims, managing leave and separation transactions, maintaining pay and benefits records, and supporting service members through major career milestones. As the sole specialist in my position within my squadron, I carry significant responsibility, ensuring continuity, accuracy, and mission-critical support with minimal supervision.
In each of these roles, I developed and demonstrated a consistent commitment to high-quality service, professionalism, and patient or customer care. As an EMT, I delivered emergency medical care with speed, accuracy, and empathy, often in high-stress environments requiring calm under pressure and clear communication. As a Hyperbaric Oxygen Technician, I supported patients through medically supervised treatments, ensuring their safety, comfort, and confidence in the process while maintaining strict procedural and health standards.
Additionally, my years of experience in food service helped refine my interpersonal skills, ability to multitask, and dedication to providing a positive, memorable experience for every customer. Whether handling medical emergencies, assisting with clinical procedures, or working in fast-paced hospitality settings, I consistently delivered responsive, respectful, and professional service.
