Wright serves as a Senior Contract Specialist for the Department of Defense Education Activity (DoDEA), where she manages the acquisition of critical educational and operational support services for K-12 schools serving military-connected students worldwide. In this role, she ensures compliance with federal procurement regulations while aligning contracting strategies with DoDEA’s mission of academic excellence and equitable access.
