Her technical focus centers on NAICS categories related to cybersecurity services, information technology systems integration, and defense electronics manufacturing. She routinely procures classified and controlled unclassified information (CUI) handling systems, secure network appliances, cyber training platforms, and facility-based computing infrastructure designed for sensitive compartmented information facilities (SCIFs), demonstrating deep domain expertise in mission-critical defense IT environments.
