I coordinate procurement, vendors, and international logistics across U.S. and Latin American markets.
What I'm looking for
I'm a procurement and logistics professional with 7+ years supporting purchasing operations, vendor management, and international logistics across U.S. and Latin American markets.
At Palm Springs Pest Control, I coordinate purchase orders, vendor communication, delivery tracking, inventory monitoring, invoice validation, and purchasing reporting using Excel and Google Sheets.
Previously, I managed international shipments and import documentation at GC Logistics, negotiated carrier and supplier rates, and supported cost accuracy through freight-charge and invoice review. My experience also includes procurement and billing support at Deejay Consulting Service and Life Lite Surgery.
I've built my background in pricing analysis, supplier coordination, import/export operations, and bilingual English/Spanish communication. I'm currently pursuing an MBA in Supply Chain Management.
