Tina Lowenthal began her
procurement career as a Buyer in the Acquisition Division at JPL
in late 1986. After successfully working her way up to Senior
Contract Negotiator, she transferred to the Purchasing Services
Department on Campus in January, 1996. When she first arrived,
she worked part-time in the Purchasing department as a Senior
Negotiator and part-time on the LIGO Project. Having two
separate offices was challenging and by 1998, she was promoted
to Assistant Manager of the Purchasing Services Department, and
gave up her responsibilities within the LIGO Project. By early
2001, she was promoted to Associate Director of the Purchasing
Services Department. She is now currently the Director of
Procurement Services.
Tina received her Bachelor’s
degree in Telecommunications from Michigan State University in
1984. She received a Professional Designation in Government
Contract Management from UCLA in 1989 and a Master of Business
Administration from the University of La Verne in 1991.
