  • Military & Veterans

Meet Angelica Contreras, a Field Service Representative with GovCIO’s Deployable Services team. With nine years of experience in the Marine Corps, she brings a strong focus on diverse perspectives and effective problem-solving to her leadership approach. Her military background has strengthened her ability to tackle complex challenges with flexibility and a strategic mindset.

How has your military experience shaped your approach to problem solving and leadership?

I served in the Marine Corps for nine years, and it had a profound impact on my approach to problem-solving and leadership. From day one, the focus was on developing strong leadership skills, which taught me to view situations from multiple perspectives. The cultural diversity within the Marines also encouraged me to see the bigger picture. Now, I consistently seek diverse viewpoints to make well-rounded decisions in my approach to leadership and problem-solving.

How was your transition into the civilian sector when joining the team at GovCIO?

I found my role at GovCIO through connections I made during my time in the Marines. My current position closely aligns with the work I did in the Marine Corps, which has been great because I didn’t have to transition into a completely different field or something unfamiliar.
