Ho serves as a Contract Specialist at the Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard IMF (N32253), within the Department of the Navy, where she plays a pivotal role in executing complex procurement actions to sustain and modernize the U.S. Navy’s fleet. Her responsibilities include managing the full lifecycle of contracts for ship repair, industrial maintenance, and mission-critical system refurbishment, ensuring compliance with FAR and Navy-specific acquisition regulations.
