Results-driven Procurement Specialist with expertise in supplier management.
What I'm looking for
I am a results-driven Procurement Specialist with a strong background in supplier onboarding, e-procurement platform management, and systems integration within enterprise environments. My experience includes leveraging Coupa and cXML technologies to streamline procurement workflows, enhance supplier collaboration, and drive cost efficiency. I have a proven ability to manage the end-to-end source-to-pay process while delivering training and support to ensure adoption and compliance.
At Accenture, I led supplier onboarding initiatives, ensuring seamless integration into the Coupa procurement platform. I supported the implementation of cXML protocols for efficient processing of purchase orders and invoices, and deployed Punchout and Hosted Catalogs to streamline procurement and improve compliance. My role also involved configuring SAN/Email communications to automate purchasing workflows and collaborating with IT and vendor teams to maintain real-time integration with ERP systems.
With a solid educational foundation in Supply Chain Management from Harper College, I am committed to optimizing procurement operations and fostering strong supplier relationships. I am eager to leverage my skills and experience to contribute to a dynamic team focused on driving operational excellence.
