With over six years in the Government Contracting and Telecommunications industries, Parr is a Business Analyst with SGIS. In this role, she focuses on the operations of one of four SGIS business units, assists with managing the contract pipeline and ensures the company is pursuing task order opportunities on current contract vehicles.
