Learn more about Erica’s background and role below:

What is your professional background?

I’ve been in Commercial and Government Contracts Management for 15 years. I started my career in the corporate world as an Administrative Assistant and in the background I was learning contract administration for GSA Schedules. As time went on in my career, I learned how to do Federal, Commercial, and International contracts. I was also given the task to learn export laws/file license and identifying how to code material/services for an export license.

Can you tell us about the work you do at The Building People?

I work within the Finance team and collaborate with Project Managers and Program Managers in reviewing contracts to identify potential risks, review contracts for issues that may come up in the delivery of the contract, work with the Government Contracting Officer on issuing modifications, and other issues that may arise.

What do you like most about working in your role?

I like working across the organization within different departments to meet the rest of the company and learn how the organization operates.

How do you define success?

Earning respect from your team and the rest of the organization.

If you could learn to do anything, what would it be?

I’d like to learn how to sail. I feel like everybody in the community I live in has a sailboat, and they offer sailing lessons for the children in the neighborhood.
