Using her Communications background, Ward sped up installation time for new computers, application updates for government cell phones, and alleviated mission degradation that arise from day-to-day Communications related issues.
Additionally, Ward led the transition to a new task tracking system which led to reduced sync issues, giving time back for decision makers.
