At The Save Mart Companies, I worked across grocery pricing, category and space management, consumer insights, and retail operations. I led an initiative restoring hundreds of missing Dairy and Deli SKUs, producing more than $1 million in additional sales in six months.

As Pricing Manager – FoodMaxx Division, I managed competitive grocery pricing, promotional priorities, margin considerations, and product positioning. I presented pricing and performance findings to merchandising and operations stakeholders to inform profitable decisions.

As a Senior Supplier Analyst, I partnered with approximately 1,200 manufacturers on supplier agreements, reporting, compliance, and issue resolution. I redesigned supplier fee-collection processes, generating more than $500,000 in program fees.

My work also included analyzing competitive pricing across approximately 250 stores and 13,000+ SKUs, and using Nielsen and IRI information to evaluate assortment, new items, shelf placement, planograms, and resets. I bring a retailer-side understanding of how pricing, promotions, assortment, and store execution support customer profitability.
