What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a procurement/inventory role where I can improve inventory accuracy, resolve supply issues fast, manage purchase orders and vendor relationships, and support deadline-driven teams with strong logistics and customer-focused service.

I’m a Procurement, Inventory, and Supply Chain professional with 20+ years of experience across manufacturing, automotive parts distribution, and operations. I’ve built a reputation for managing high-volume purchasing while keeping project schedules and material availability on track.

In my most recent role as a Purchasing Agent, I managed 100+ purchase orders each month, negotiated vendor pricing and terms, and tracked orders to resolve shortages and expedite deliveries. I coordinate with internal teams to handle order changes, cancellations, and delivery issues using Vista, Apex, and related systems.

Earlier, as a Prefabrication Inventory & Material Handler Lead, I led inventory operations for prefabrication and field construction—maintaining accurate inventory records and coordinating timely material deliveries. I partnered with purchasing to monitor stock levels and recommend replenishment, while supporting safe, reliable warehouse operations.

Previously, I handled receiving, shipping, cycle counts, and inventory control using RF scanners and inventory systems, and I supported customer-facing service through warehouse and delivery work. I’m recognized for improving inventory accuracy and resolving supply issues in fast-paced, deadline-driven environments.
