What I'm looking for

I'm seeking procurement, supply chain, inventory, logistics, or operations work where I can improve material availability, control costs, build supplier relationships, and support distributed or remote teams.

I've coordinated procurement, inventory, and material availability at Holy Cross Energy and Vail Health, supporting regulated utility field projects and daily surgical operations. I manage requisitions, purchase orders, invoices, supplier documentation, audits, and inventory controls.

At FedEx Express, I managed high-volume logistics and supply chain operations for 12 years, negotiated vendor pricing, approved invoices, supported budgets, and led teams. I oversaw a workforce of 160 when covering full management responsibilities, earned a FedEx Five Star Award, and helped increase customer satisfaction scores by 36% in six months.

I bring business-management education and hands-on purchasing experience across transportation, healthcare, utilities, and automotive operations, with a practical focus on cost control, reliable material flow, and strong supplier relationships.
