The Navy taught me adaptability and the skill of working well under pressure. Delta Air Lines operates in a rapidly changing and challenging industry and my military experience has helped me be successful in that environment. Delta has been immensely supportive of my career in the Navy Reserves. My leadership and colleagues are understanding and accommodating when my training requirements take me out of the office.
The time spent in the military was monumental in preparing me for my career at Delta. I was able to get my A & P licenses and a BS in Education during my time in the Air Force. My time in the Air Force prepared me for leadership at Delta by offering opportunities to lead teams of mechanics. Simply put, everything I do at Delta has somehow been influenced or shaped by my time in the military. Disciple, multi-tasking, thinking on the run and professionalism are at the top of the list of skills I attained in the Air Force that I use now at Delta.
In the military you learn how to make important decisions very quickly in a constantly changing environment. This has helped me in my various roles at Delta and specifically within the pricing environment since it is a very fast paced area where decisions and actions must be analyzed and acted upon quickly.
