At SkyFi, I was the company’s first Capture and Proposal Manager, building an end-to-end proposal process for satellite imagery and geospatial intelligence opportunities. I created proposal templates and a reusable content library, and integrated AI tools into solicitation analysis and drafting.

At Eight Eleven Group, LLC, I managed Federal, SLED, and commercial proposal responses, submitting 185+ proposals with a 46% average quarterly win rate. I developed reusable content processes and led internal color team reviews to support compliant, on-time submissions.

At IronStride Solutions, I led, captured, and won over $8 million in transportation engineering proposals. On a Colorado Department of Transportation pursuit, I used historical bid data to forecast release windows and coordinated early reviewer engagement and subcontractor teaming.

Earlier, at BDO USA, LLC, I calculated R&D tax credits and built Excel models; at Fishbeck, I developed AEC proposals and company-wide templates. At Micro Kickboard USA, I deployed a CRM system and researched prospects in new markets.
