Her working relationships are characterized by proactive outreach, clear communication of technical requirements, and collaborative contract management to ensure performance accountability and timely delivery. She maintains strong vendor engagement practices, encouraging responsiveness and compliance through structured debriefs and post-award reviews. Teresa demonstrates an unwavering commitment to small business participation, with 100% of her acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5.
