Kettell serves as a Contract Specialist within the FA3016 502 Contracting Clinic of the Department of the Air Force, where she plays a pivotal role in executing mission-critical acquisitions that sustain Air Force installation readiness. Her portfolio encompasses the procurement of specialized facility maintenance, medical services, and technical support solutions essential to operational infrastructure. Kettell manages a diverse range of contract actions—including firm-fixed-price, cost-reimbursement, and indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity instruments—to ensure timely delivery of services that maintain airfield functionality, medical readiness, and communications systems.

Kettell demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with approximately 44% of her awards directed toward small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, including 8(a) competed contracts.
