As an 1102 with the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Alaska District for the last 6+ years I have been empowered to take lead on acquisitions as varied as taxidermy service for a brown bear display too complex construction and environmental remediation projects throughout Alaska. The predominance of my current workload lies in the contracting of environmental remediation services for pipelines and former military sites spread throughout Alaska. Operating successfully within an organization with a high operations tempo has been highly reliant on my ability to successfully communicate with others of varying technical backgrounds and experiences. Leveraging this trait has allowed me to build strong relationships with peers, customers, supervisors, and contractors alike which ultimately has led to mission success on thousands of projects.
