Maria Brissette, CPPB

Procurement Specialist

I have learned much in the seven years while here at Mohave regarding Arizona public procurement and am very grateful for the new opportunities that Mohave has provided me as a Contract Specialist. This job will allow me to be part of a team responsible for providing steadfast contracts, and I feel the whole staff here at Mohave is ”top notch“ when it comes to staying abreast to the latest changes which affect our contracts. Supporting those that influence the State of Arizona is fascinating and challenging.

Before Mohave, my background was in sales and procurement in private sectors. I spent my childhood years growing up in the suburbs of Chicago, Illinois. In the late 1980’s I moved to Las Vegas to pursue my education. I graduated from UNLV with a Bachelor of Science in Hotel Administration, in 1989. After school I worked in sales, and casino/distributor purchasing as well as culinary and management.

When I am not at work I enjoy hiking, yoga, gardening and spending enjoyable moments with my husband and son.
