DOT/FAAField Training Development Team

Bridging learned theory with the skills and knowledge needed to perform their daily tasks. Managing the personnel certification programs related to radar and information systems. Providing technical advice when needed. Previously, I partnered in the Technical Evaluation Program as an evaluator, providing quality control for field offices in the completion of the FAA's goals, customer focus, and efficiency of maintenance procedures. The team often used the opportunity to train others to improve their skills, efficiency, and developing risk assessment and safe decision-making.

Some of my favorite assignments were special projects and the deployment of emergency fire tower.
