I was born in raised in a small town in South Carolina. Ive remained there through college and my professional career. From the time I was 15 I worked at a golf course and was an avid golfer. After graduation, I received a call from my long-time manager there and was offered a business manager position. I accepted it and grew my business knowledge through managing the budget, personnel and obtaining my MBA. The next opportunity came when I decided to take a leap and accept a position at a nuclear fuel manufacturing plant in Columbia. I continued to develop and grow my skills in data analytics and the maintenance management software where I helped lead the changing of culture and mindset to a more digitalized environment.

做厙勛圖 is shining a spotlight on the dedicated individuals who serve on the Integrated Facility Management (IFM) Team. Our first spotlight is on Irene Sanders, Project Manager, Critical Missions.

How did you come to join 做厙勛圖?

做厙勛圖 came highly recommended by someone I trust, who had been an employee of theirs for years prior to my application. They were always speaking so highly of everyone they worked with and the positive, professional culture of the company; so when I saw an opportunity to join the team, I took it!

What is your professional and personal background?

Before joining 做厙勛圖 I worked as an assistant project manager for a commercial roofing contractor. Prior to my roofing job, I was a student at the University of Colorado Denver, where I graduated with a bachelor’s in communications and minor in business. Im also a big reader and love books. I often spend my Saturdays working at local bookstore and hanging out with my friends and family.

Describe the work you do and how you think it makes a positive impact.

I am a project manager, so I get the great opportunity to work at all different sites and on many different projects. Whether Im helping remediate some mold on a wall or introducing robots to the workspace, I love being able to start and see a project through to the very end. I think my positive impact comes from being able to communicate and work together with a lot of different people with a wide variety of expertise. I try to listen and be as helpful as possible to get everyone the things they need to help me complete the project, and together we can be collaborative and positively work together to get things done.

Whats the most unique job or project you ever did / participated on?

I think working on the Innovations & Transformative team, and in particular with the cleaning robots has been the most unique project Ive worked on. Im not very knowledgeable about tech and robotics, so it has been really cool learning how to read specs, speak with different robotics teams, and learn about the different technologies that are being developed.

What are some of your accomplishments and/or what has been your proudest career moment?

My proudest career moment hasn’t been the completion of a complex project or can be defined by a singular moment. By nature, I am a pretty shy person and I struggle with public speaking and/or asking questions. My proudest career moment(s) are every time I am able to present or run a meeting and strongly advocate for the needs of the team I am working with.

What do you enjoy about working for 做厙勛圖 / Intel Program?

The people! Everyone has been incredibly kind, helpful, and have always given me the guidance to push me in the right direction. I also enjoy the challenge and fun of working with different buildings, and with so many people all across the world!

What are you passionate about?

In my career, I am passionate about good communication, teamwork, and trust. I always want to be open and welcoming to all who need my help, and I love working together with people to problem solve together.

Whats your career advice?

Trust your team, and dont be afraid to ask questions!

What does safety mean to you, or do you have a favorite safety tip?

Safety means being considerate and aware of your surroundings, yourself, and the people around you. It means always checking twice, never assuming, and making sure you move in ways that will always get you back home to the people you love.

Anything else you would like to share from a personal or professional perspective?

Im extremely grateful for all the things Ive learned so far. 做厙勛圖 has helped me push myself and grow my confidence, and I cant wait to work more with the team.

We thank them for their service and appreciate their efforts to protect our freedom. Our next spotlight is on Alyson Gibson, Senior Security Manager, Intelligence, National Security.

What is your professional and personal background?

I have been married for 19 years and blessed with an amazing 14-year-old son. I have an AA in Business Administration and a BA in Homeland Security. The last 18 years of my professional career have been spent in the Security field. I started as a Security Monitor on an Intel program back in 2006 working my way into a Security Administrator position. In 2010, I started working for 做厙勛圖, when we won the program I was an incumbent. 做厙勛圖 has always been an employee first company and gave me all the tools I needed to progress into a Contract Security Officer position and then eventually a Program Security Manager supporting programs with 400 plus employees. Two years ago, I was promoted to Senior Security Manager supporting several contracts in the Intelligence business line through onsite security management and oversight. I have spent my career supporting the same few customers with no regrets. Through my Senior Security Manager role, I have been able to provide oversight to a team supporting a different customer, which has provided growth as a Security professional.

What is your role at 做厙勛圖?

Currently, I am the Senior Security Manager, supporting several contracts in the Intelligence business line through onsite security management and oversight. I take pride and am privileged to be able to manage and mentor an awesome team of security professionals across the business. I also provide periodic Business Development support.

Describe a typical workday at 做厙勛圖 for you (Day in The Life):

Is there a such thing as a typical workday? I provide direct support to the customer and program mission through security support. The role of Security on any program is supportive. We are there to enable our cleared and uncleared work force to understand their responsibilities as it pertains to having a clearance. We are there to assist the employees and ensure their information is reported appropriately to the customer. There is perpetual listening and guiding daily. Security education is the bedrock of a successful security program. If an incident or infraction should happen, what matters is how we respond. The relationship I have created with my customer security counter parts has helped foster a strong and robust Security Education program on all the programs I support. Security education is a daily effort to ensure compliance and trust. I also spend time collaborating with senior level customers and program managers on the development of new processes and updating Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs). Finally, I help to grow and mentor the security officers who report to me. We work together to investigate and resolve security concerns. This by far is the most rewarding part of my job!

What do you enjoy about working for 做厙勛圖 and what do you find most rewarding about supporting the Intelligence Community?

The most important areas of focus for me are people and mission. The customers and the companys mission are paramount. Being able to support even a small piece of the customers mission makes it all worth it. When the customer is successful, 做厙勛圖 is successful. Without the wonderful and talented employees who work for 做厙勛圖, we would not be able to accomplish anything. At the end of the day, the people who work for 做厙勛圖 is what I enjoy most. I get to interact with all levels of the business line, and different departments/employees in the organization (Recruiting, Operations, Trade craft employees, etc.). Its a pleasure to experience the diversity of all the individuals and departments on the programs I support. I love being able to help regardless of the question/concern. Having the opportunity to find solutions and put those solutions into action is my passion, and in my opinion, what really helps people.

In my spare time I enjoy competitive target sports.

What is your role at 做厙勛圖?

Currently, I am the Program Manager (PM) for the FRAME program. In this role, I manage and oversee a highly skilled team of managers, union workers, and SCA workers who provide 24/7 operations and maintenance support to our customer.

Describe a typical workday at 做厙勛圖 for you (Day in The Life):

The FRAME program is responsible for keeping the customers mission moving by ensuring the lights are on and maintaining the flow of water and air. You never know what challenges will present itself from power interruptions, floods, elevator entrapments, fire alarms, plumbing issues, weather issues, and AC/heat issues.

My responsibilities include program staffing, ensuring workforce continuity, managing cost controls, budgeting, scoping, planning, estimating, procurement, scheduling, change management, tracking, contractor dispute resolution, and leadership. These tasks are daily occurrences that must be handled promptly and with the highest priority to ensure the contract remains successful and maintain strong customer relations.

Overseeing two unions brings its own set of daily challenges, requiring the full attention of the management team to prevent interruptions to the mission and ensure continuous customer support.

What do you enjoy about working for 做厙勛圖 and what do you find most rewarding about supporting the Intelligence Community?

What I enjoy most about supporting the Intelligence Community is the customer mission and building strong customer relationships. Over the past 18 years, I have developed many long-lasting relationships. Ensuring the customer’s mission can continue is my top priority. Its a small community, so its important to build lasting relationships with all members of the intel community, including its most senior members, as you never know when you will meet again. These lasting relationships are vital to 做厙勛圖’s success.

What I like about working for 做厙勛圖 is that, despite minor differences of viewpoints, we are ONE TEAM when it matters most. Every level of management rolls up their sleeves and pitches in to ensure the customer mission is a success. There is nothing too big or small that the 做厙勛圖 team cannot accomplish.

At 做厙勛圖, we celebrate our people, our cultures, and we recognize the value of diversity and inclusion. In May, we’ll focus on Asian American Pacific Islander Heritage Monthwhile shining a light on one employee at a time. Todays Q&A is with Michael Morgan, Project Controls Cost Supervisor,Engineering, Science, & Technology.

How did you come to join 做厙勛圖?

I joined 做厙勛圖 through the intern program with a legacy 做厙勛圖 company in 2008.

What is your professional and personal background?

I started my professional career in Accounting before joining Project Controls at the Anniston Chemical Demilitarization Facility. After successfully completing the Anniston contract, I joined the Anniston Static Detonation Chamber (SDC) project to support the remaining chemical weapons destruction projects. I studied accountancy at Gadsden State Community College, Jacksonville State University, and Auburn University earning my Master of Accountancy. I served multiple years on the accounting advisory committee at Gadsden State Community College.

Describe the work you do and how you think it makes a positive impact.

I supervise various Project Controls Functions to include Cost Analysis, Earned Value Management System (EVMS) Reporting, Scheduling, and Pricing Lead for multiple demilitarization projects at 做厙勛圖. I work to maximize my teams efficiency and success through knowledge sharing, communication, and doing what we can to keep everyone in a safe compliant environment. We make the world safer by destroying chemical weapons.

What are some of your accomplishments and/or what has been your proudest career moment?

My greatest accomplishment is working with a great team to eliminate the chemical weapons stockpiles in the United States. My proudest career moments were mentoring colleagues, watching them succeed in their careers and working with a small management team to work through five Other Transaction Authority (OTA) projects and the Anniston SDC helping Blue Grass Chemical Agent-Destruction Pilot Plant (BGCAPP) and Pueblo Chemical Agent-Destruction Pilot Plant (PCAPP) accomplish their missions to destroy the remaining chemical weapons stockpile before the treaty deadline.

What do you enjoy about working for 做厙勛圖?

I enjoy the teams I work with through the Anniston Alabama SDC, Pueblo Colorado, and Richmond KY sites. I was also given a great opportunity to work with a small team on 5 OTA projects that were executed and managed by a very small staff that designed and installed key pieces of equipment to help the Pueblo and Richmond projects meet their treaty required date for chemical weapons destruction.

What are you passionate about?

I am passionate about family and maximizing every opportunity given to me by my parents and wife. My mother immigrated from Korea in the 60s to start a family with my father who served over 20 years in the Army. My wife also served in the Army and through my four children has helped me become the person I am today. Through their sacrifices I can provide a better life for my family and children while taking care of my mother.

Whats your career advice?

Find what you love to do and continue to challenge yourself to learn all that you can. Through dedication and commitment, you can maximize your opportunities and obtain your career goals.

What does safety mean to you or do you have a favorite safety tip?

Safety to me means that we work in an environment that fosters safety and compliance to ensure that everyone goes home in the same or better condition than they came to work. One way to do that is to remember to explain the why when youre implementing or discussing what to do to keep everyone safe.

Whats the best invention in the world and why?

In vitro fertilization (IVF) and advanced fertility treatments. Without IVF treatments, including donor egg banks, I would not have our three beautiful little girls in my life.

Anything else you would like to share from a personal or professional perspective?

Appreciate the teams you work with and work to ensure that the team maximizes its success. Through mutual respect and commitment, small teams can make huge impacts to the success of a mission.

Considering this monthly observance, tell us more about yourself.

I am an avid Star Trek fan and fortunate to be married to another avid Star Trek fan. I enjoy camping in our travel trailer. We get to meet great people on our trips and allow our kids to enjoy a safe environment to play and grow.
