What I'm looking for

I seek a role where I can apply logistics and financial analysis to improve supply chain efficiency, drive cost recovery, and lead data-driven process improvements in a collaborative, compliance-focused environment.

I am an analytical logistics financial analyst with over 10 years of experience optimizing supply chain operations, federal procurement, and financial reconciliation. I specialize in high-volume SKU environments and federal program support such as the Strategic National Stockpile and NDMS.

At Leidos I manage full-cycle procurement and accounting reconciliation for SNS and NDMS projects, led COVID-19 relief procurement activities, and enforce audit and compliance processes to ensure accuracy and regulatory adherence. I leverage SAP, Tableau, Power BI and advanced Excel to surface financial discrepancies and support decision making.

My career highlights include recouping significant vendor credits, reducing operational lead times by 50%, halving shipment load processing time, and improving inventory accuracy and reporting speed through corrective system actions. I consistently deliver KPI improvements such as a 98.5%+ fill rate and 100% data accuracy in replenishment roles.

I bring a results-oriented approach to process improvement, vendor relations, and cost containment, combining hands-on logistics experience with data mining, cost accounting, and cross-functional leadership to drive measurable business outcomes.
