I’m a procurement analyst with over 10+ years’ hands-on experience in business analysis, data, strategic sourcing, supply chain, and procurement. I bring a strong ability to “distill complex thoughts and strategies into simple, actionable recommendations,” while keeping process controls, accuracy, and timeliness at the center of every request.

Most recently, as a Procurement Analyst (Contract) at Bank of Montreal, I facilitated requisition and purchase order functions for technology requests across the procurement lifecycle. I worked with business partners and suppliers to ensure complete and on-time action, supported process controls, and coordinated strategic initiatives by tracking metrics and milestones, including nine months using Coupa Procure.

Earlier, I served as a Procurement Coordinator at Combined Insurance of America (2015–2022), ensuring purchase orders were processed timely into the DacEasy system, validating receipts and packing slips, preparing RFP/RFI/RFQ documentation, and managing invoice matching and payment requests. Before that, I worked as a Purchasing Agent at Dominion Colour Corporation and in purchasing/operations roles at Roots Cooperate Head Office—negotiating with suppliers, maintaining materials through timely MRP processing, and monitoring purchase order workflows in STS and Momentis.
