  Supervisor - contracting officer

  16+ year coach and leader of a team of federal officers who supervise a myriad of federal offenders. I also coach and lead a team of contracting associates who coordinate the recruitment of 85 vendors who provide drug, mental health and sex offender treatment. I invest time to listen to my team and truly want the best for them. Our mutual investment has produced a positive work environment and has resulted in increased productivity. I focus my time and attention on understanding that each person brings with them their own unique talents. Our goal is to work interdependently, understanding "the whole is greater that the sum of its parts." Show less
