What I'm looking for
I am a results-oriented Federal Contracts Compliance Specialist with over five years of experience in government relations, program management, and legislative analysis. My expertise lies in developing and implementing effective strategies while managing stakeholder relationships and analyzing policy impacts. I am passionate about applying my skills to advance the goals of your organization.
Currently, I manage the day-to-day operations of a multi-million dollar federal General Services Administration (GSA) contract at Konica Minolta Business Solutions U.S.A., Inc. My role involves ensuring compliance with relevant legislation and modifications while engaging stakeholders across the U.S. government and private sector for business development opportunities. I have a proven track record of creating business cases for new initiatives based on financial analysis and market research, leading to increased revenue.
Previously, I served as the Government and Community Affairs Manager at the LGBT Network, where I was the point of contact for elected officials and media, managing significant funding opportunities for advocacy work. My experience as a Trade Commissioner Assistant at the Consulate General of Canada in New York further honed my skills in data synthesis and stakeholder engagement, allowing me to effectively manage economic outreach programs.
