What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values strategic procurement and offers opportunities for professional growth.

With over 15 years of experience in contracts and procurement, I have honed my skills in managing the entire lifecycle of contracts, from pre-award actions to post-award compliance. Currently, I serve as a Contract Specialist with the General Services Administration, where I lead critical projects and ensure adherence to Federal Acquisition Regulations. My role involves not only managing contracts but also fostering relationships with contractors and stakeholders to drive successful outcomes.

Previously, I worked as an IT Procurement Specialist at FXCM Global Services, where I developed a comprehensive vendor database and implemented strategies that resulted in significant cost savings. My ability to analyze purchasing strategies and resolve compliance issues has been instrumental in maintaining seamless operations in fast-paced environments. I am passionate about leveraging my expertise to support organizational goals and enhance procurement processes.
