What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values operational excellence and offers opportunities for growth.

I am a strategic and results-driven operations and finance professional with over 5 years of experience leading procurement, financial analysis, and project management initiatives across diverse industries. My expertise lies in process optimization, financial modeling, and vendor management, where I leverage tools such as Tableau, Salesforce, and SQL to deliver actionable insights. I have a proven ability to streamline operations, reduce costs, and drive cross-functional collaboration to improve efficiency.

As a Certified ScrumMaster and Lean Six Sigma Yellow Belt, I focus on fostering team success in dynamic environments. My recent role as a Procurement Specialist at SCATR involved collaborating with cross-functional teams to drive procurement excellence and operational optimization for a global cybersecurity firm. I successfully negotiated cost-effective agreements, resulting in significant cost savings while maintaining strong relationships with key stakeholders. I am now seeking to bring my operational excellence and financial acumen to a growing organization.
