What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a contracts-and-grants role where I can own compliance, contract lifecycle administration, and documentation excellence, while using Salesforce reporting, program evaluation, and cross-functional coordination to deliver measurable outcomes.

I’m an experienced administrative and contracts professional with expertise in grant administration, compliance, and documentation management. I’m known for translating requirements into clear processes—supporting reporting needs, contractual accuracy, and stakeholder communication.

In my current role at Trenches Global, I lead and coordinate complex cross-functional testing programs and partner with retail leaders to turn business needs into actionable strategies. I maintain accurate Salesforce records, review and negotiate purchase agreements and service-level agreements, and administer the full contract lifecycle to ensure documents comply with organizational policies, funding requirements, and federal/state regulations. I also research, prepare, and submit grant applications, track statuses and outcomes, and drive continuous quality improvement using evaluation findings and performance indicators.

Previously, as a Program Management Analyst (Contractor) with CDC, I supported government contract management, federal procurement support, compliance monitoring, and contract administration within CDC environments such as Integrated Contracts Expert (ICE). I reviewed grant and project expenditures for allowability, allocability, and reasonableness under 2 CFR Part 200, resolved missing documentation, and conducted compliance and internal control reviews—while coordinating resources across business, IT, SAP consultants, and vendors.
