In this role, she manages the full lifecycle of acquisitions for complex systems engineering and cyber-enabled decision support services, ensuring alignment with operational readiness goals. Her portfolio centers on modernizing command and control architectures, tactical computing environments, and sensor-communication systems, requiring deep familiarity with DoD acquisition regulations and performance-based contracting methodologies.
