What I'm looking for

I seek a procurement or supply-chain role where I can optimize inventory, strengthen supplier relations, reduce costs, and support operational efficiency in a collaborative, growth-focused team.

I am a procurement and supply chain professional with hands-on experience in procurement operations, inventory control, vendor management, retail operations, and small-business management. I have a strong track record of optimizing stock accuracy, coordinating supplier processes, and maintaining efficient end-to-end operations.

As an owner and operations & procurement manager, I managed daily poultry farm operations, negotiated with suppliers to reduce input costs, tracked expenses and budgets, and coordinated sales and deliveries to ensure timely fulfillment. In earlier roles I supported LPO processing, invoice reconciliation, stock inspections, and improved filing and record-keeping systems that boosted operational efficiency.

I bring resourcefulness, analytical problem-solving, and dependable execution to roles that require procurement workflows, waste reduction, and efficient inventory management. I deliver measurable improvements in stock control, supplier relationships, and product turnover while supporting smooth organizational operations.
