For the past several years, I have served as a School Bus Driver, responsible for the safe and timely transportation of students while maintaining strict adherence to safety, security, and operational procedures. This position required a high level of reliability, attention to detail, and situational awareness, as well as strong communication and problem-solving skills. I consistently demonstrated calm decision-making and professionalism under pressure while managing daily schedules and ensuring compliance with all state and federal regulations.

In addition to my civilian experience, I completed U.S. Army Basic Combat Training and Advanced Individual Training as a 35F Intelligence Analyst. During this time, I developed advanced skills in critical thinking, information analysis, operational discipline, and information security. I gained valuable experience working in structured, high-stakes environments that require teamwork, accountability, and discretion.

Before military service, I owned and operated a bakery where I managed all aspects of the business, including staff supervision, production scheduling, inventory control, and customer relations. This role required strong organizational and leadership skills, financial management, and a commitment to quality and integrity in all business practices.

I also managed a private ranch, overseeing livestock care, property maintenance, and logistical operations. This work strengthened my ability to manage multiple priorities, solve problems independently, and maintain consistent operational readiness in dynamic conditions.

Across all roles, I have demonstrated a proven record of reliability, integrity, and mission focus. I maintain a high standard of professionalism, discretion, and adaptability in all environments and am committed to supporting the values and objectives of national security operations.

I recently graduated from Army AIT as an Intelligence Analyst. I am also currently in the Army Reserves.
