      Assistant Emergency Manager

      Assisted the Savannah District to develop their Hurricane Response Program and implemented the plan during Hurricane Matthew (the first Hurricane to pass over Savannah in decades). Was the Tactical Operations Center lead and kept up to date information for the Commander of the District and all department heads. This job was one of my favorites in the Army and I learned so much during high-stress environments on how to stay calm and make decisions. I developed great relationships as well and really appreciated the value of selfless service. Show less
