What I'm looking for

I seek program or acquisition roles in government/prime environments where I can lead acquisition lifecycle activities, improve PM/COR processes, and collaborate with stakeholders to deliver complex health IT and defense programs.

I am an acquisition-focused program manager with deep experience supporting Defense and Veterans Health programs, specializing in acquisition package development, contract oversight as a COR, and program management for large health IT efforts. I have led development of acquisition strategies, performance work statements, market research, independent cost estimates, and quality assurance plans while coordinating cross-functional stakeholders to deliver contracts and support agreements.

My background includes leading process improvements, risk and issue management, and lifecycle acquisition documentation for MHS GENESIS, VA EHR modernization, CISA investments, and other DoD/DHS programs. I hold acquisition and COR certifications, a Master of Public Administration, and a track record of developing trackers, SOPs, and PM/COR business processes that improved contract closeout, workload alignment, and executive decision making.
