At Communications Resource Inc. (CRI), I manage project logistics and administrative tasks as a Project Coordinator. I also led our division-wide transition to Monday.com, facilitating meetings and trainings as we aligned the new processes with current business practices.

At CRI, I balance project coordination with buying duties. As a Purchasing Specialist, I used Deltek Costpoint to manage requisitions, purchase orders, and material receiving, while maintaining vendor relationships and negotiating pricing.

At Park Properties Management Company, I updated accounting reports through Oracle and revised residential work order codes and inventory pricing for more than 1,000 items using market research.

My experience also includes coordinating private events and catering at Pineapples Thai Kitchen, and managing budgets and marketing work for student organizations. At the East Coast Asian American Union Conference, I negotiated printing costs down by 15% and helped extend invitations to more than 20 universities.
