My expertise lies in budgeting, vendor negotiations, and executing projects from inception to completion. I have successfully managed over 200 outdoor signage projects, ensuring adherence to budgets while achieving an average profit margin of 35%. My ability to prepare detailed cost estimates and optimize workflows has significantly reduced project turnaround times by 20%.

In my previous role as a Purchase Center Manager at CarFirst-OLX, I excelled in procurement and sales, purchasing over 50 used cars per month and achieving a 25% profit margin. My leadership skills were instrumental in training team members, which boosted productivity by 25%. I am currently pursuing advanced analytics training to enhance my data-driven decision-making capabilities, further solidifying my commitment to continuous professional development.
