Military Leadership Experience

Headquarters Company Commander • Illinois Army National Guard

I serve as a Headquarters Company Commander within the Illinois Army National Guard, overseeing operations, training, and personnel management for a headquarters element supporting the Illinois Military Academy which supports nationwide training and advanced education for current servicemembers and officer candidates.

• Lead and develop soldiers across training, performance, and readiness requirements

• Oversee personnel administration, records management, and compliance with military regulations

• Coordinate operational planning and execution in a high-accountability environment

• Ensure unit readiness through disciplined processes, reporting, and leadership development

Military leadership has significantly shaped my approach to management and human resources. Leading teams in complex, regulated environments has strengthened myability to make sound decisions under pressure, manage, personnel issue thoughtfully, and align people, processes, and mission objectives.
