This week, we highlight #LocalLegend Ms. Ivana Barac. Ms. Ivana Barac works at the 31st Contracting Squadron. She has worked at Aviano Air Base since 2010 and has worked with 31 CONS since 2015. She likes that every task she takes on is different and requires a lot of research. Originally from Croatia, Ms. Barac enjoys the Italian weather, culture, and food. Walking her bull terrier, Cato, is her "happy place." Thanks for all you do, Ms. Barac! #PaglianoeGori #TeamAviano
