As the Academy Manager at Associated Builders and Contractors of Metro Washington, I oversee the day-to-day operations of the CraftMasters Training Academy, a leading provider of apprenticeship, craft training, and other educational programs for the construction industry. I have been in this role for over a year and a half, and I am responsible for coordinating the training activities, managing the facility, and ensuring the quality of instruction. I bring to this position a strong background in communication, leadership, and fitness, as well as a passion for personal protection and self-reliance. I have a bachelor's degree in business communication from Stevenson University, where I graduated in 2021. I also have two associate's degrees in munitions systems and intelligence studies from the Community College of the Air Force, where I served as a leader and an expert in various teams and situations. I am a certified group fitness instructor and an expert level 1 instructor in Krav Maga, a self-defense system that I teach in my own business. My mission is to empower people with the skills and knowledge they need to succeed and thrive in their personal and professional lives.
