What I'm looking for

I seek a role combining procurement and specialty coffee operations where I can manage supply-chain tasks, ensure quality, train teams, and grow professionally.

I am a supply-chain and purchasing professional with deep specialty coffee experience and food & beverage management training. I currently work as a Jr. Buyer responsible for primary packaging procurement, inventory tracking, and supporting green coffee needs for multi-state operations.

Previously I worked in customer service, quality control, roasting, cupping, product development, and training at a coffee roastery, where I hosted on- and off-site trainings and managed sales order entry in QuickBooks. My background combines hands-on coffee expertise with administrative and purchasing skills.

I hold a Culinary Arts & Food and Beverage Management degree from Johnson & Wales University, food-safety certification, SCA barista training, and ongoing supply-chain certification (APICS CSCP 2025). I am organized, detail-oriented, and eager to apply my cross-functional experience to grow within beverage and supply-chain roles.
