She manages the full lifecycle of professional services contracts, with a primary focus on administrative management consulting and computing infrastructure solutions.

Havens collaborates with a diverse ecosystem of vendors, including large systems integrators and specialized consulting firms, to fulfill complex technical and managerial requirements.

Her working relationships emphasize performance-based outcomes, risk mitigation, and contract compliance, fostering long-term vendor partnerships built on transparency and accountability. A strong advocate for socioeconomic contracting, Havens prioritizes small business participation, with 40% of her acquisitions structured as Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) set-asides.
