What I'm looking for

I'm looking for a role where I can grow and contribute across customer success, inventory, and logistics. In my career, I’ve managed operations, handled purchase orders, and supported both vendors and customers. I enjoy wearing many hats, solving problems, and helping things run smoothly in a fast-paced, team-focused setting.

I’m a versatile, operations-driven professional with a strong foundation in customer success, inventory management, logistics, and marketing. I’ve built my career by jumping in wherever I’m needed, solving problems, and helping teams run more efficiently. I spent nearly five years managing a specialty retail store, where I handled everything from purchase orders and multi-location inventory flow to staff training, vendor relations, and community engagement. That role taught me how to juggle competing priorities, adapt quickly, and stay focused on both the customer experience and the operational side of the business.

Currently, I work in higher education stewardship, where I manage large-scale processes that involve student outreach, data accuracy, and donor communications. Whether I’m coordinating hundreds of annual reports or organizing campus events, I bring the same level of care, attention to detail, and desire to make things better. I’m also pursuing my master’s in Supply Chain Management to further sharpen my skills and expand my impact.

I’m looking for a role where I can continue doing meaningful, high-impact work—ideally somewhere that values both structure and creativity. I care about the people I work with, and I take pride in doing the job right. Whether I’m working with a customer, a vendor, or a team, I bring consistency, resourcefulness, and a drive to keep growing.
