I take pride in contributing to the crafting and winning of multiple Small Business Initiative Research Grants from the Federal government. One standout achievement includes securing Phase 3 funding for a million-dollar CDC-funded custom mobile health initiative—a rare accomplishment, given the challenges associated with Phase 3 approvals. My role involved successfully developing a viable product during Phases 1 & 2, earning me high praise in the government’s overall performance evaluation. In another instance, I competed against various companies to secure a custom training program for the FAA on Next-Generation Systems for Aviation Inspectors. By thoroughly researching and engaging with a technical association representing aviation inspectors, I conducted insightful interviews, gaining a profound understanding of their needs. This effort resulted in winning the contract as FAA stakeholders recognized my unique insight into the mindset and training needs of the target audience.
