Summary of Qualifications

2012 – Present Aerojet Rocketdyne Sacramento, CA
Subcontract Specialist
 I am currently assigned as the subcontract administrator of multiple high dollar subcontracts covering multiple space and defense
programs as well as IR&D programs.

2012 – 2012 Pro Unlimited Sacramento, CA
Subcontract Specialist
 I was assigned as the subcontract administrator covering the SM-3 IIA requirement with GD-OTS in Healdsburg, CA. My duties
relevant to this assignment, include the following: Lead of the SM-3 IIA Supplier Management Team (SMT) for GD-OTS; daily
administration of GD-OTS subcontract; negotiation and definitization of changes within SCM guidelines; providing weekly and monthly
status and reports to assorted internal customers; providing contractual guidance to non-contractual internal customers regarding
GD-OTS; and supporting various meetings with GD-OTS both at Aerojet and GD-OTS.

2010 - 2012 U.S. Air Force Beale AFB
Contract Specialist
 I worked with requesting groups to develop performance work statements (PWS) or statements of work (SOW) to
support ongoing activities for the U.S. Air Force. Once the requirements have been verified and funding is established,
the request for proposal process is initiated using the appropriate method, i.e. fed biz ops, to elicit responses from
interested parties while following federal procurement guidelines. Upon receipt of responsive proposals I award contract,
with approval from the responsible contracting officer, to the appropriate contractor in accordance with federal guidelines.
I work with the requesting customer to administer the contract through completion and close-out. I am familiar with all
aspects of the FAR, DFARS, AFFARS and ACC Mandatory procedures, as well as the Feb Biz Ops, CCR and ORCA
websites.

 During my tenure at Beale AFB I have been assigned the administration of the single largest services contract on the
base, CAAS III for IR&S Support Services for the U-2 and the RQ-4 with Spectrum Comm. I have organized the files,
which allowed me to de-obligate over $180,000 in un-expended travel funding from the base year and the first option year.
Including the aforementioned contract, I have three other service contracts (two (2) Title II A-E Support Service contracts
for CE and the MC-12 IS&R Support Services contract) that require constant administration and coordination with the
customers and contractors. I was given a Form 9 to repair an old marquee sign by the firing range, but I was able to
provide CE with the necessary support to replace it with a new, state-of-the-art marquee sign for the same amount
budgeted to repair the old one. Since I started in February 2010, I have been able to save requesting customers over
$80,000 against Form 9 certified funding and the resulting contract award amount. I continue to close my contracts in
less than 30 days after final payment, unless there is a warranty or performance issue that precludes close-out. I am
currently in the process of issuing solicitations for: a) Base-wide Flooring Services with a base year and four options
years and a total estimated value of $1,250,000; and b) Opposing Forces (OPFOR) training support with the MC-12 that
has a potential of up to $4,000,000 per year. Both of these will result in contracts that require constant communication
and coordination with customer and contractor to assure constant compliant performance. I have become familiar with
the SPS PD2 contract writing system with the extensive amount of use that I have had with inputting and updating
contracts, tasks orders, modifications (both administrative and cost/schedule impact), and close-outs.
