What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that offers opportunities for growth and collaboration in a dynamic environment.

I am a dedicated Senior Purchasing & Inventory Management Specialist with a proven track record in optimizing purchasing processes and inventory management. Currently, I work at Federated Insurance, where I efficiently process purchase orders and requisitions while ensuring compliance with company policies. My role involves coordinating the purchasing and inventory management system, serving as a resource for users, and providing training on new procedures. I take pride in my ability to research and identify the best products to meet our company's needs, acting as a liaison between vendors and business partners to negotiate favorable contracts.

In my previous roles, I have honed my customer service and problem-solving skills, particularly as a Shipping Specialist and Mail and Support Specialist.
