What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values innovation and teamwork, offering opportunities for growth and development.

With over nine years of experience as an Administrative Coordinator, I have honed my skills in optimizing business processes and enhancing operational efficiency. My journey has been marked by a commitment to strategic planning, vendor management, and process improvement, consistently achieving measurable time and cost savings. I am passionate about fostering strong partnerships and driving innovative solutions that streamline operations and boost profitability.

In my recent role as a Receiver/Merchandise Manager at Total Wine & More, I led inventory management initiatives, resolved discrepancies, and implemented data-driven strategies to enhance operational efficiency. My leadership in front-end operations resulted in a 5% increase in weekly sales, showcasing my ability to mentor and develop teams while maintaining financial accuracy. I thrive in environments where I can leverage my skills in project management and creative problem-solving to drive business growth.
