I have been part of the maritime industry for the past five and a half years with Colonna’s Shipyard, Inc. During my time at Colonna’s Shipyard, I have had the opportunity to support the organization through roles in business development for our Weld America Division and in recruiting for the entire Colonna’s enterprise, helping connect skilled professionals with opportunities that support ship repair and maritime operations.
While my involvement with the American Society of Naval Engineers has been limited, I currently serve as a co-chair for the ASNE Charity Golf Tournament and enjoy supporting the organization’s efforts to bring together professionals across the maritime community. Through my work at Colonna’s, I have developed a strong appreciation for the people, skills, and collaboration that keep the maritime industry moving forward.
Thank you for your consideration as I seek to serve as Secretary. I look forward to the opportunity to support and serve the organization.
