With over 10 years at Monterey, Inc., Missi has supported health and human services initiatives across grants, contracts, and market research. Her work has helped shape strategic acquisitions and facilitated more than $1 billion in grant funding for the state. She has overseen the review of $662 million in grant sub-awards, conducting in-depth compliance reviews and driving process improvements to ensure operational efficiency and accountability.

Prior to her current role, Missi served as a Program Analyst, applying strong analytical skills to government contracts for the U.S. Air Force, the Department of Veterans Affairs, and private-sector partners. Her responsibilities included analyzing market trends and economic dynamics, developing data-driven reports to support informed decision-making, and participating in vendor evaluations, as well as the development of RFPs and RFQs – including high-impact contracts supporting pandemic response efforts.

During the COVID-19 restructuring period, Missi stepped into a team lead role, training and guiding staff through a fast-paced, high-pressure contracting environment. Whether managing complex contracts, producing clear and actionable reports, or building strong vendor relationships, she remains focused on creating smooth, efficient, and compliant processes.
