During a distinguished career with DoD, which began as an ADP Internship with the Navy, she rose quickly, making career moves to the Marine Corps, the Army, DARPA and the DoD’s Defense Systems Management College. She was frequently on the leading edge of new technology for these services, but was always drawn to process improvement and team building to improve the performance of her staff. As the Chief of the Army’s (USAISC) Professional Development Division, she established a Command-wide information center, and was on the Commandant’s Advisory Council. At DARPA, she distinguished herself as a Security Officer, and by establishing an in-house speakers’ program that enhanced data-sharing within the agency.
Her final DoD post was as a Professor of Software Acquisition Management where she researched, planned, developed, and taught courses in software systems acquisition and management to senior-level military and civilian executives. She consulted with congressional staff, Pentagon, major DoD program offices, and other federal agencies on issues related to software systems, quality assurance, management, and quality. She conducted or participated in SCEs and risk assessments in conjunction with major programs’ source selection efforts. She was a college representative to the steering group that developed the Software Acquisition CMM at SEI, and was a Baldrige National Quality Award Evaluation coordinator for the College. She was selected for a consulting assignment to the House of Representatives National Security Committee advising on Acquisition Reform and Information Technology issues.
She is a Qualified Myers-Briggs Personality Type Indicator Analyst, Certified Total Quality Management Facilitator, Certified Acquisition Professional-Level III, and a Certified Project Management Professional.
