Helping small businesses
win big in federal contracting
We specialize in helping small and medium-sized businesses break into and succeed in the federal contracting space. From registration and compliance to proposal development, certification support, and post-award management, we equip clients with the tools and strategies they need to compete and win.
For more than four decades, I have led at the intersection of government, business, and community. My career began in federal service, where I served for 25 years before launching Pivotal Practices Consulting, an award-winning, multi-million-dollar firm that I led for more than a decade while serving clients across the public and nonprofit sectors.
I later returned to federal service, bringing my total to 30 years of federal service, including nearly 15 years as a member of the Senior Executive Service, where I drove transformation in leadership, governance, and organizational development.
My commitment to learning and impact extends beyond federal service and entrepreneurship. I am honored to serve a third term as Board Chair for Academy of Hope Adult Public Charter School, where we work to expand opportunities for adult learners. I also lend my voice as an Advisory Board Member with In a Perfect World, an organization dedicated to empowering young people.
As a lecturer at the University of Maryland School of Public Policy, I have had the privilege of guiding future public leaders as they prepare to meet complex challenges with clarity and courage.
My experiences across federal service, nonprofit governance, higher education, and business have shaped a simple belief: meaningful transformation begins with authenticity.
