Bio

As a former NCOIC for an infantry battalion training & operations section, along with training and experience operating a variety of systems from unmanned aerial vehicles to the application of firepower at the squad level, I continue to develop skillsets to be of use to Marine Corps. My civilian master's degree and professional leadership experiences augment my military skillsets. More than a decade of experience in leading communications and marketing for healthcare, educational and non-profit organizations. I’m unique because I have a passion for strategy while remaining fully capable of being tactical: writing & editing copy, web development, art & design direction, pitching media, &planning events.
