What I'm looking for

I seek a dynamic role where I can lead contract and procurement activities, improve inventory controls, leverage ERP systems, and drive cost-efficient, compliant supply-chain outcomes.

I am a contract administration and procurement specialist with extensive experience in contract management, procurement, inventory control, and warehouse operations across energy and retail sectors.

I built and launched CONTRACTIQ, an AI-powered contract intelligence platform offering cost-model analysis, risk assessment, and editable contract templates to educate and protect users.

At WTS Energy I administered contracts end-to-end, ensured compliance with terms and ERP procedures, supported dispute resolution and payment processing, and maintained traceability of contractual correspondence and variations.

Previously at Davis & Shirtliff I managed inventory using NetStock, conducted cycle counts and stock audits, optimized reorder levels and logistics, automated records to a DMS, and earned awards for safety and warehouse performance.
