WORK SUMMARY:

Possess over 20 years of working experience in support of the Assistant Secretary of the Army (Manpower and Reserve Affairs) and Army G-1. Performed as the Chief of the Management Support Office and provided administrative, human resource, security, logistical, manpower management, contract management, and information management support for over 800 personnel in five separate locations. Performed as supervisor, Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR), and manager of the budget for the business processes of the organization. I oversaw the development and maintenance of the military forecasting models, to include the redesign of the Officer Projection Analysis System; the Enlisted Loss Inventory Model; the Military Occupational Specialty System; and the Individuals Account, incorporating four models into one--the Active Army Strength Forecaster. This was a major accomplishment which updated the legacy systems and placed more analysis capability in the hands of the functional proponents. For over 20 years, I led a team of CORs in support and management of a large number of contracts for personnel models and systems, to include the Personnel Authorization Model (PAM) and its successor (PAM XXI), the Mobilization Manpower Planning System, the Civilian Forecasting System, and the Systems of System Architecture. For six years I was the supervisor of the Information Technology Branch and the Information Management Officer for all M&RA and G-1 personnel and received highly favorable customer service feedback.
