I am a Procurement Counselor for the Schoolcraft College APEX Accelerator with nearly 10 years of experience assisting companies to grow their businesses. As a procurement counselor, I assist companies currently selling to the government or seeking to enter the government marketplace. I help them articulate their capabilities, learn how to conduct market research on their government customer, register in various government vendor databases and more. I also design and deliver procurement trainings on federal, state, and local government contracting topics. I am a graduate of the Association of Procurement Technical Assistance Centers procurement counseling credentialing program, a member of the National Contract Management Association and a member of the National Defense Industrial Association.
