She manages the full lifecycle of construction and systems integration contracts, with a focus on building systems such as electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and roofing, as well as structural construction for commercial, institutional, and industrial facilities. Her work ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while supporting mission-critical readiness through timely and efficient procurement of essential infrastructure services. Sather maintains a consistent working relationship with MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, a primary contractor for complex site development and facility construction projects. Her procurement approach emphasizes collaborative vendor engagement, fostering long-term partnerships with contractors experienced in military-grade construction standards and integrated building systems. She actively coordinates pre-solicitation outreach and contract performance evaluations to ensure quality, schedule adherence, and safety compliance across all awarded tasks.
