She manages a diverse portfolio of acquisitions spanning facility maintenance, communications infrastructure, and logistics support, ensuring operational readiness through timely and compliant contract actions. Her work directly supports the agency’s mission to maintain airborne and ground-based systems by procuring essential services that keep installations functional, secure, and modernized.
