Her portfolio centers on janitorial and facility services contracts that ensure the cleanliness, safety, and functionality of high-priority military installations.

This reflects a mission-driven prioritization of service continuity, scalability, and proven performance over socioeconomic preferences, aligning with the agency’s need for consistent, high-volume facility support across geographically dispersed locations. Her primary focus is on NAICS 561720 (Janitorial Services), where she specializes in procuring commercial cleaning, waste disposal, restroom sanitation, and facility hygiene services tailored to DoD standards. She has deep expertise in managing service contracts requiring compliance with environmental regulations, hazardous material handling protocols, and security-sensitive operational environments, ensuring that base infrastructure remains fully functional and mission-ready at all times.
