WOODBRIDGE, VA, August 17, 2026 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Terri Crawford has been selected for inclusion in Marquis Who's Who. As in all Marquis Who's Who biographical volumes, individuals profiled are selected on the basis of current reference value. Factors such as position, noteworthy accomplishments, visibility, and prominence in a field are all taken into account during the selection process.

Ms. Crawford currently serves as federal project manager II at Oracle Health, a position she has held since October 2025. In this capacity, she is responsible for reviewing and approving travel expense reports submitted by both contractors and employees, ensuring that all submissions adhere to the General Services Administration guidelines and Oracle's internal travel policies. Additionally, Ms. Crawford plays a key role in process improvement initiatives aimed at streamlining the travel submission and approval experience for employees and approvers across multiple markets. Her expertise in project management and process improvement has been instrumental in her ability to deliver results in this centralized team environment. As a member of the Project Management Institute, she remains engaged with industry best practices and professional development.

Before joining Oracle, Ms. Crawford spent 10 months in 2025 as an administrative specialist with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. During her tenure at NASA, she contributed to administrative operations and gained valuable experience working within a federal agency known for its complex projects and high standards.

From 2022 to 2025, Ms. Crawford served as program specialist in the Health Services Division of the Library of Congress in Washington, District of Columbia. She was recognized in 2021 for her pivotal role in revitalizing the organization's annual wellness fair following pandemic-related disruptions, leading a comprehensive overhaul that successfully reintroduced the event.

Prior to her work at the Library of Congress, Ms. Crawford held several positions within the Department of Veterans Affairs. At the Office of Primary Care at VA Central Office, she worked for nearly two years supporting primary care initiatives. From 2021 to 2022, she was a training specialist at the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs in Washington, D.C. In 2021, she also served as an administrative officer at the same department.

Her earlier career included serving as a health system specialist (Graduate Healthcare Administrative Training Program trainee) at the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs in Columbia, Missouri, from 2020 to 2021. During this period, Ms. Crawford considers her most significant professional accomplishment to be transitioning a call center to a virtual setting during the pandemic — an undertaking that presented numerous challenges but ultimately exceeded expectations.

From 2018 to 2020, Ms. Crawford worked as a clinical documentation improvement specialist at the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs in Tampa, Florida. She previously held roles as a coding auditor from 2017 to 2018 and an inpatient medical coder from 2016 to 2018 at the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs in Salisbury, North Carolina. These early positions provided her with foundational experience in medical coding and auditing, which later fueled her interest in project management and process improvement.

Ms. Crawford's educational background includes a master's degree in health care administration from Champlain College in Burlington, Vermont, earned in 2020. This advanced degree equipped her with critical knowledge that has informed her approach to leadership roles and process optimization throughout her career. She also holds a bachelor's degree from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro.

In addition to her academic achievements, Ms. Crawford has obtained several professional certifications that have supported her career progression. She earned the Project Management Professional certification from the Project Management Institute for the period 2024 to 2027 and holds the Certification for Contracting Officer's Representatives Level II from the Federal Acquisition Institute, awarded in 2024. She also earned Six Sigma Green Belt certification at Harry S. Truman VA Hospital in 2020, reflecting her commitment to quality improvement methodologies.

Mentorship has played a significant role in Ms. Crawford's professional development. She credits supportive coworkers who shared practical skills — such as building a SharePoint site — with helping her grow beyond formal education and training. Her personal drive and clear understanding of her value within teams have further propelled her advancement within complex organizations.

Ms. Crawford began her career at the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs as a clinical documentation improvement specialist focused on medical coding and auditing before deciding to pursue graduate studies for broader opportunities. Her participation in a one-year fellowship with the VA in Missouri introduced her to project management and process improvement work, experiences that continue to shape her professional interests today.

Beyond her primary career roles, Ms. Crawford has demonstrated civic commitment through service as a missionary with New Beginnings Community Church from 2014 to 2017. Through this involvement, she participated in three mission trips organized by her church based in Charlotte, North Carolina — traveling to St. Louis, Jamaica and Guatemala, where she collaborated with local organizations on various initiatives.

In recognition of her contributions, Ms. Crawford received acknowledgment from the Library of Congress around 2021 for revitalizing its annual wellness fair after pandemic disruptions.

Born in Charlotte, Ms. Crawford enjoys reading and has developed an interest in gardening — currently cultivating strawberries, zucchini and hot peppers while expanding her knowledge about plant care and maintaining a variety of plants and flowers at home. She also spends time hiking, traveling when possible and exploring new restaurants or activities that broaden her experiences.

Looking ahead, Ms. Crawford aspires to earn Lean Six Sigma Black Belt certification and continue advancing professionally as both a project manager and a process improvement specialist within Oracle or other organizations, where she can contribute meaningfully to operational excellence.
