## About

```text
At Hormel Foods - Applegate Farms, I coordinate 50–75 orders weekly across customer accounts, suppliers, and warehouses, supporting accurate order processing and timely shipments.

I improved warehouse scheduling by analyzing historical shipping volumes and securing standing pickup appointments to address recurring transportation delays. I also monitor inventory discrepancies and maintain Excel tracking reports for supplier commitments, shipments, and operational issues.

Previously, at Commercial Metals Company, I managed customer orders and shipment coordination, and supported inventory and production scheduling. I also trained four team members on operational processes and order management at Hormel Foods - Applegate Farms.
