Work Experience:
Hello! My name is Nelson and I'm a Guardsman transitioning out of the military with less than 1 year left of my reserve duties. I have over 6 years of experience in operations, logistical support and project management across military assignments both stateside and overseas. I believe my greatest strenghts are that I'm a hard worker, have a diligent attention to detail, and I care deeply about the well being of the team. Overall, I have a hunger to learn new skills as I get out of the military and transition to a civilian fully. Thank you very much for your time and consideration!
