What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to leverage my pricing expertise and drive impactful business outcomes in a collaborative environment.

I am a finance and pricing expert with extensive experience leading complex proposal efforts across federal markets. My career has been marked by a consistent ability to own cost strategy from kickoff through submission, ensuring that my teams deliver compliant and competitive bids. I have a strong grasp of both the technical and financial aspects of business development, which has enabled me to help teams win and grow.

At Northrop Grumman Corporation, I have led pricing and proposal development efforts on high visibility contracts, contributing to wins totaling approximately $7 billion since 2022. My work has been recognized with awards, including Employee of the Quarter in 2023. I am passionate about process optimization and have developed tools that enhance efficiency and accuracy in pricing models, which have been adopted across teams.

Throughout my career, I have demonstrated a commitment to collaboration and strategic thinking, whether negotiating contract terms or developing cost narratives. I thrive in environments where I can leverage my analytical skills to drive business success and foster strong client relationships.
