Cultural Skills
I am a fluent speaker of both Arabic and Spanish. I have extensive Middle Eastern experience acquiring a combined 18 months of deployment time in Diyala, Salah Ad Din, and Ninewa provinces, Iraq throughout my three combat rotations. I lived for a month in Cairo, Egypt while studying at the International Language Institute. I have had significant exposure to multiple dialects of Arabic and Arab cultures during my time on active duty.
Additional Information
I am currently pursuing my degree in Business Administration with a focus in management which I intend to complete by the middle of 2012. Thereafter it is my desire to pursue an MBA at the Georgetown University McDonough School of Business with a focus in International Business, Information System, or Accounting. I also wish to apply for my PMP certification upon completion of my degree. Throughout my time in the U.S. Army I have served in very dynamic environments during which I have implemented full-spectrum F3EAD tenets in order to produce products of superior quality and utility for both kinetic and non-kinetic engagement strategies. My skill sets in terms of analytics, linguistics, information systems, equipment operation and maintenance, training, and leading/managing assets are ideally suited to the demands of the US intelligence mission.
