Her portfolio centers on commercial and institutional building construction, engineering services, and mission-critical building systems upgrades, ensuring compliance with federal standards and sustainable design principles. She plays a pivotal role in executing the agency’s mission to deliver safe, efficient, and resilient federal facilities through strategic sourcing, risk-managed contracting, and performance-based acquisition methods.
