What I'm looking for

I'm seeking a logistics/warehouse leadership role to improve operations, lead teams, streamline fulfillment with WMS/SAP/Excel, and work in a safety-focused, collaborative company that supports growth.

I am a detail-oriented logistics and warehouse specialist with 8+ years of experience managing shipping, receiving, and inventory across high-volume distribution centers.

I use WMS, ERP, SAP, RF units, and Excel to manage order fulfillment, create Bills of Lading, track productivity metrics, and produce operational reports. I coordinate with dispatch, yard drivers, and cross-functional teams to ensure timely movement of goods.

As a Team Lead at Target and a Team Lead - Shipping at Medline, I trained staff on powered equipment and safety standards, led teams to meet shipping targets, and improved efficiency through audits and process improvements.

I serve on Safety and Engagement Committees, support team morale, and prioritize compliance and continuous improvement. I seek opportunities to drive operational excellence, mentor staff, and contribute to a safe, collaborative workplace.
