She specializes in complex, multi-disciplinary procurements requiring coordination between engineering, environmental, and facilities management stakeholders, with a focus on delivering compliant, timely solutions that align with Air Force readiness objectives. Patricia maintains a consistent working relationship with MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, a primary contractor for site development and facility upgrades. Her procurement approach emphasizes performance-based contracting and collaborative vendor engagement, fostering long-term partnerships with firms that demonstrate technical proficiency in infrastructure resilience and compliance with federal construction standards.

Her contracting patterns reflect a strong commitment to small business participation, with 37.5% of her awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5.
