Mary taught me everything I know to this day and there is "can't" is not in our vocabulary. I worked for the Federal Government for 18 years, (9 years as an 1102 Contract Specialist with the Dept of Energy), and quit to stay home with my daughter. Substitute taught for 1 year. Missed the money I made as so I returned to the stressed out Federal Procurement world. This I met Mary and my whole professional life changed. Mary not only is the best Team Leader. She is the best Co-worker, the best mentor and my friend. Federal Regulations and Contract Clauses, such as: Research & Development, Aerospace, Energy Related Inventions, Fossil Fuels, Nuclear Waste etc..., are subject to interpretation and Mary and I would discuss each others' outlook and justication's. Mary encouraged me to get CPCM certification and gave me the "National Instutue of Government Purchasing" study guides before she left town and now I am ready to proceed to the next level thanks to her." and "Mary is an excellent academic who, being my Course instructor at Villanova University for Contract Management Master certification, has added tremendous value to my professional skills and has enhanced them in terms of imparting knowledge on advanced Contract Management techniques, both in the fields of Govt and Commercial Contract Management. She always responded with ease to the technical queries in the class. She was encouraging to acquisition of learning, timely provided related supplementary information and had a well-structured teaching methodology based on very good inter-personal skills. All this made it a very pleasant and enlightening experience for me to have completed this Certification assignment with her. I strongly recommend her to organizations looking for HR development & professional enrichment in terms of procurement & contract Management."
