   personal_statement: USGS Emergency Management has an overarching goal of organizational
     and staff preparedness to continue science and science support activities during
     incidents and emergencies. Through comprehensive policy, training, exercising,
     practice, and operational posture that readies staff and external stakeholders,
     Emergency Management complements other USGS offices and programs to keep our
     employees and the public safe.With a proven track record of leadership in crisis
     situations, I am driven by a passion for safeguarding lives and property through
     proactive and strategic emergency management. My dedication extends beyond the
     office, as I actively engage with communities to raise awareness about emergency
     preparedness, providing valuable resources and educational. I stay abreast of
     the latest advancements in the field, integrating cutting-edge technologies
     to enhance early warning systems and response strategies.Before joining the
     USGS, I was a retired Air Force Aerospace Propulsion Craftsman with over 15
     years experience on F-15, F-16, A-10, U-2S and HH-60G aircraft, and 6 years
     experience a military training instructor training aircraft maintenance, flightline
     safety and first aid/survival classes as the mission changed. I have played
     a pivotal role in designing and conducting emergency/disaster preparedness drills
     and simulations, equipping teams to respond effectively to a range of natural
     or manmade disasters.
