What I'm looking for

I seek a role in procurement or supply chain where I can apply data-driven process improvements, AI-enabled sourcing, and vendor management within a collaborative, growth-oriented team.

I am a motivated procurement and supply chain student with hands-on internship experience in purchasing, inventory control, and supplier coordination. I specialize in maintaining accurate procurement records and supporting sourcing activities to ensure timely supply and compliance with organizational procedures.

I have led and contributed to process-improvement initiatives, including a research project on AI integration in procurement at Kenya Power, where I analyzed inefficiencies and proposed automation and forecasting solutions. Supervisors have recognized my reliability, attention to detail, and teamwork in fast-paced production environments.

I bring practical training from a Bachelor of Business Management (specializing in Procurement & Supply Chain) and a Diploma in Business Information Technology, and I am eager to apply data-driven approaches, e-sourcing, and vendor-management best practices to improve cost-effectiveness and operational efficiency.
