As Controller in Charge and Virtual Ramp Tower Controller Orlando international airport (MCO), I lead the coordination and management of aircraft movements within non-movement areas, including ramps and taxiways, ensuring the highest levels of safety and operational efficiency. I deliver real-time, clear guidance to pilots and ground crews, expertly mitigating risks and minimizing delays in a fast-paced, high-pressure environment. Collaborating closely with air traffic control teams, I maintained exceptional situational awareness and enforce rigorous safety protocols, playing a pivotal role in sustaining smooth airport operations.In addition to these roles, I serve as the facility’s Saab Aerobahn Champion, where I troubleshoot minor software and hardware issues, escalate major deficiencies through detailed work orders, and track all reported issues to ensure timely resolution, enhancing the reliability of surface surveillance and decision support systems. This combination of operational leadership and technical oversight strengthens my qualifications for continued growth in advanced Air Traffic and Airport Management roles.
