"Working in the federal government was the best decision that I made for my career. I was empowered with more responsibility and visibility than most employers are willing to give. Contracts is a difficult profession; however, I learned a tremendous amount which helped me in both my job and home life. We are expected to be a jack of all trades in the acquisition world, which can be stressful but is ultimately rewarding."
