Cheryl M. Bennett serves as a Contract Specialist within the FA4418 628 Cons Pk unit of the Department of the Air Force, where she plays a pivotal role in executing mission-critical construction and infrastructure support acquisitions. She manages the full lifecycle of contracts for facility sustainment, modernization, and operational readiness at Joint Base Charleston and associated installations, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and mission-driven priorities.
