Work History

Infantry Team Leader

United States Army National Guard
08.2019 - Current

As an Infantry Team Leader, I was responsible for ensuring mission success by using strategic planning skills to navigate challenging situations. I kept my superiors informed by providing detailed situational reports, which helped them make effective decisions. I also created backup plans for unexpected events, allowing the team to quickly adjust during changing missions. I maintained discipline within the unit by enforcing military standards and regulations. Working with other teams on joint missions, I made sure we coordinated smoothly and completed tasks effectively.

I mentored junior soldiers, helping them grow in their military careers, and I led the infantry team to complete missions by giving clear instructions and promoting good communication. Under pressure, I used my tactical expertise to make quick, critical decisions, ensuring successful outcomes in high-stress situations. I also focused on keeping the unit ready by conducting regular equipment checks and maintenance.

My leadership led to multiple commendations for outstanding performance. I regularly produced reports on equipment status, team readiness, and intelligence for my superiors. In addition, I trained the team to handle emergency situations and taught them how to integrate tactical planning, equipment maintenance, and weapon use. I also trained multinational partners, contractors, and foreign nationals to improve their defense skills. I led the team in field exercises and operations and managed equipment worth over $4 million during deployments.
