While specific contractor names are not available, her procurement patterns indicate consistent engagement with a diverse range of vendors, including small businesses and professional service providers across technology and hospitality sectors. Her working relationships reflect a preference for competitive, open-market solicitations balanced with targeted small business set-asides, fostering a vendor ecosystem that values both innovation and socioeconomic inclusion.
