She manages a diverse portfolio of facility, infrastructure, and technical services contracts, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations while supporting critical operational needs such as environmental remediation, site preparation, and logistics support.

These partnerships span construction, transportation, IT solutions, and specialized technical services, reflecting a balanced mix of large and small business vendors. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, clear statement of work development, and rigorous contract administration to ensure deliverables align with mission-critical requirements.
