She has been featured in TIME magazine, The New York Times, The Washington Post, a Rachel Maddow 3-part documentary for MSNBC, a 12-page pictorial article in Vanity Fair, Testimonies to Congress, and most recently, on a CBS Whistleblower documentary series, called “Bunny’s War”.
Bunny is an accomplished academician, assistant mathematics professor and business/government executive leadership expert.

As an educator, she taught Mathematics full time for more than sixteen consecutive years reaching students in secondary public schools, technical institutes, community colleges and universities. She continued to teach mathematics concurrently with her subsequent careers in Federal Government Procurement and Contracting and in industry. In 1981, she was invited by the Fort Hood, Texas Directorate of Contracting Office to serve as a Procurement Agent Intern in the Federal Government.
With progressive promotions and increased responsibilities stateside and in Europe, she subsequently served for eight years in the Federal Government’s Senior Executive Service (SES) as a Procurement Executive expert in Contracts Formation, Contract Management, Contract Assessment and Oversight. Her position as Principal Assistant Responsible for Contracting (PARC), the highest-ranking civilian in Contracting for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, had the protocol of a one-Star General.
Strong History
Bunny, born in 1944, emerged as a prominent figure in the landscape of government accountability and transparency. With a distinguished career spanning over three decades, Bunny’s dedication and expertise led her to become the highest-ranking civilian procurement official at the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Her commitment to excellence was evident, earning her the nickname “The Warrior for Integrity.”
However, it was Bunny’s courageous stance as a whistleblower that etched her name into the annals of history. In the early 2000s, she exposed irregularities and improprieties in the awarding of contracts during the Iraq War, shedding light on the misuse of power and funds. Despite facing adversity and professional repercussions, Bunny’s unwavering commitment to ethics and transparency set a precedent for principled dissent within government institutions.
Beyond her role as a whistleblower, Bunny has continued to advocate for integrity and accountability in government practices. Her legacy serves as a testament to the transformative power of individual courage in upholding the principles that underpin a just and accountable society. Bunny remains an inspirational figure, a symbol of resilience against corruption, and a beacon for those who strive to ensure transparency and ethical conduct in public service.
