What I'm looking for

I am seeking a manager role in operations or contract management that allows me to manage projects, lead others, and improve processes.

I am a data-driven analytics and contract professional with an MBA and experience negotiating contracts, leading trainings, and presenting findings to senior leaders. I combine analytical rigor with practical contract and pricing expertise to improve profitability and compliance.

At Abbott Laboratories I analyzed large datasets from Power BI, Salesforce, and SAP to surface compliance risks and pricing opportunities, and I supported development of contract management and quote-to-contract tools. I have led trainings for sales teams and delegated planning for career-advancement events across the Chicagoland region.

My background includes logistics and inventory leadership in large distribution environments, hands-on SAP experience, and operational leadership as a certified firefighter and lieutenant at SC Johnson. I am also a U.S. Air Force veteran with technical maintenance experience on diesel generators and operational support roles.

I seek roles where I can apply analytics, contract governance, and pricing strategy to drive measurable revenue gains and operational improvements while mentoring teams and strengthening cross-functional processes.
