What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a logistics/materiel management role where I can own document control, keep 100% audit-readiness, and deliver 99%+ accuracy in inventory and compliance—especially in fast-paced, high-accountability environments.

I’m a detail-oriented Materiel Management Professional and Logistics Technician with a proven track record in document control, inventory accountability, and regulatory compliance. I specialize in Air Force-wide supply systems, hazardous material handling (IATA), and warehouse operations, with a strong bias toward “100% audit-readiness.”

In my current role, I oversee the lifecycle of critical logistics and financial documents, ensuring 100% accountability and audit-readiness within Air Force-wide enterprise systems (ILS-S/DPAS). I validate and file transaction documents daily, maintaining a 99%+ accuracy rate in compliance with Air Force Instructions (AFI) and Materiel Management regulations.

I also drive continuous improvement by streamlining the document tracking workflow, reducing filing backlogs, and improving retrieval speed for internal audits and inspections. I collaborate with the Supply team to manage assets, resolve discrepancies, and protect the integrity of the Materiel Management supply chain.

Earlier, I built strong operational depth through warehouse management and inventory control work at Macy’s, where I led incoming inventory processing with WMS, directed RFID tagging and electronic tracking, and reduced shrink. Before that, I handled compliance-driven shipping and safety responsibilities as a Manufacturing Technician, including IATA certification for hazardous and non-hazardous goods, and I continue to bring the same precision to every receiving, storage, and documentation task.
