When it comes to me, I like to think of 2024 as the year we didn’t just work hard we worked smart. As SRA’s COO, my job isn’t just about keeping the wheels turning; it’s about making sure we’re building something that lasts. This year has been all about grit, growth, and setting the stage for the future. And let me tell you—it’s been one heck of a ride.

The Big Projects: Rolling Up Our Sleeves

2024 wasn’t just another year; it was the year to make moves, I like to say. And make moves, we did. This was the year we tackled some of the most ambitious projects I’ve ever seen. Whether it was refining our processes, streamlining operations, or getting everyone aligned on the bigger picture, it’s been all hands on deck.

These aren’t just tasks—they’re challenges that push us to grow, I’ve often told my team. And nothing gets me more fired up than solving the puzzles that come with growth. Every project this year was a step closer to making SRA the powerhouse we’re destined to be.

Lessons Learned: The Power of Teamwork

One thing 2024 taught me? You can’t do it alone. Great teams aren’t built overnight—they’re built on trust, communication, and a shared vision. I’ve seen that first-hand this year.

When everyone knows their role and feels empowered to deliver, that’s when the magic happens, I’ve told my team more times than I can count. And honestly, I couldn’t have asked for a better group of people to tackle this year’s challenges with. They’ve shown me what’s possible when talent meets teamwork.

2025: What’s Next?

Looking ahead to 2025, my mantra is simple: The foundation is there. Now it’s time to scale. That means:

  • Expanding Our Capabilities: This is the year we’ll broaden our reach and take on bigger opportunities than ever before.
  • Fostering Innovation: From tech solutions to new ideas, I’m excited to explore how we can push boundaries and redefine what’s possible.
  • Strengthening Our Core: Our people are our biggest strength, and empowering them will always be my top priority.
  • A Final Thought: The Year That Set the Stage

As I reflect on 2024, I’m not just proud—I’m inspired. This was the year we built trust, systems, and momentum. It wasn’t always easy, but every challenge was a chance to grow.

2024 was about building the blueprint. 2025? That’s the year we bring it to life.

I’m excited for what’s ahead, and I’m ready to keep pushing forward with this incredible team. Here’s to the future and everything we’re about to achieve together.
