Best Story

Winning the contract and then working with the White House, President Obama, all branches of the military, and 2,000 vendors to host the 50th Commemoration on the Vietnam War. Managing and leading senior leadership, congressional members, and the secret service to ensure a safe, globally televised event for ten thousand attendees. As the PRIME contractor, dealing with hundreds of leaders, their staff combined with security issues I had to lead well.

Origin Story

I am where I am because of my motto for myself "Be Bold, Be Brave, Be Seen, Be Heard and Be Paid Well" I always thought "Go on underestimate me that'll be fun" I know my tenacity, perseverance, and faith guides to KNOW that I can, I want to and I will get me to my next step. I didn't always know that was who I was, I learned that is who I am. I am a complex woman, who at 17 chose to leave the US on her own and live in Spain where I opened and sold two businesses before I was 23 years old.
