What I'm looking for

I am looking for a collaborative team environment that values innovation and success.

I am a seasoned business development professional with extensive experience in coordinating and supporting responses to government RFPs. My career has been marked by a commitment to excellence and a collaborative spirit, which I believe are essential for driving team success. At ManTech, I honed my skills in Competitive Intelligence, where I coordinated strategy sessions and conducted in-depth research to provide valuable insights that informed our proposals.

Throughout my career, I have taken on various roles that have allowed me to develop a comprehensive understanding of the proposal process. From managing proposal documentation to leading production efforts, I have consistently ensured that all submissions meet the highest standards of quality and compliance. My ability to work closely with cross-functional teams has been instrumental in delivering successful proposals that align with organizational goals.

With a strong foundation in research and analysis, I am adept at identifying trends and strategic opportunities in the competitive landscape. I am now seeking a role within a dynamic team where I can leverage my skills and contribute to innovative projects that drive growth and success.
