As a SCORE Mentor, I specialize in guiding small businesses through the complexities of procurement and contracting. My background includes extensive experience in public sector purchasing, contract compliance, and strategic sourcing, with a strong understanding of how government entities evaluate proposals and award contracts. I’ve been recognized locally and nationally for advancing transparency, equity, and efficiency in procurement and for developing tools that help vendors strengthen compliance and competitiveness. Through SCORE, my focus is on helping entrepreneurs build the knowledge and confidence needed to pursue contracting opportunities, create compliant proposals, and establish sustainable business practices that support long-term growth.
