I manage and modernize critical communications systems within CDC’s Office of Readiness & Response, Division of Emergency Operations (Equipment & Communications Team). My work ensures uninterrupted support for domestic and international deployments, enabling staff to maintain secure and reliable communication during high-stakes operations.Key highlights include: • Technology Modernization – Led the agency-wide upgrade of field devices (iPhone 15, Samsung S24 FE, MR7400 MiFi, BGAN 710), boosting security, efficiency, and field readiness. • Project & Inventory Management – Tagged, barcoded, and tracked over 90+ devices across multiple CDC Ready systems; streamlined Room 3128 into a centralized deployment hub; and excessed $200K+ in outdated equipment. • Operational Excellence – Designed and implemented “Returned Equipment” and “Unretired Equipment” workflows, reducing waste and preventing unnecessary purchases. • Emergency Response Support – Ensured rapid procurement, activation, and deployment of communications equipment for critical response teams, maintaining <24-hour turnaround for staff support requests. • Collaboration & Training – Partnered with the National Wireless Program (FAA/NWP) to align strategies, led training on GPD/755t radios, and supported the safe disposal of lithium-ion batteries in compliance with safety standards.Recognized for leadership, customer-focused service, and innovative problem solving, I continue to strengthen CDC’s emergency readiness posture by aligning communications capabilities with mission-critical needs.
