What I'm looking for

I'm seeking supply chain, procurement, or operations roles where I can improve purchasing, materials planning, inventory continuity, logistics efficiency, and order delivery performance.

I've coordinated purchasing, materials, and delivery for global manufacturers including Emerson, Westlake Royal Building Products, Tyco, and Armstrong Flooring.

At Emerson, I supported 20+ concurrent projects, maintained 99% forecast accuracy, and contributed to a 98% on-time project delivery rate. I was recognized with Emerson's Annual Excellent Award for delivering a million-dollar order during global supply chain disruptions.

At Westlake, I generate DRP schedules across eight branches, manage purchase orders for 10+ major vendors, and plan inbound transportation to protect inventory availability and control freight costs.

My work spans procurement, order fulfillment, vendor management, international shipping, inventory planning, and SAP/ERP-supported operations. I'm exploring supply chain, procurement, and operations opportunities where I can improve continuity, delivery performance, and customer outcomes.
