Serving as a forward logistics specialist for DLA Troop Support Pacific in the Singapore Support Office.

Describe your job in a sentence: 
As the only forward logistics specialist for DLA Troop Support in the Singapore area of responsibility for all classes of supplies, I provide contracting and acquisition logistics support to the military services, civilian agencies and other customers in the Indo-Pacific region.  

How long have you worked for DLA? 
I have been with DLA Troop Support since December 2014.

What is your favorite thing about working for DLA?  
The opportunity to support the warfighter, our men and women who put their lives on the line every day to serve our country. 

What are your best memories of working here? 
Supporting Cobra Gold, one of the largest military exercises in the Indo-Pacific region. It builds on the longstanding friendship between Thailand and the United States.

How do you make a difference? 
Due to the time difference between customers and headquarters, forward logistics specialists have the utmost latitude to make significant decisions without supervisory assistance. I make a difference by developing solutions and recommendations for customer problems, including emergencies.
