Her contracting patterns demonstrate a strong commitment to socioeconomic small business participation, with over 38% of awards designated for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses and more than 33% allocated under total small business set-asides. HUBZone set-asides account for nearly 18% of her portfolio, underscoring a deliberate strategy to promote geographic and veteran economic inclusion. She routinely structures solicitations to maximize small business access while ensuring technical competency and mission alignment. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), followed by highway and water infrastructure (237310, 237110), and electrical contracting (238210). She specializes in acquiring integrated facility upgrades that combine structural, mechanical, and environmental systems, requiring deep technical understanding of DoD construction standards and sustainability requirements.
