What I'm looking for
I am a motivated and customer-focused Procurement & Supply Chain Professional with extensive experience in fast-paced environments. My career has been defined by my ability to build strong relationships, provide excellent customer service, and deliver exceptional results in sourcing and purchasing. I thrive in dynamic settings where I can utilize my skills in procurement, data analysis, and management to drive efficiency and success.
Throughout my career, I have successfully managed order processing and supplier coordination, negotiated prices, and maintained price stability. My role as a Junior Merchandiser at Metro Sourcing International allowed me to integrate new suppliers and products while optimizing purchasing and inventory management through the Metro Buying System. Additionally, my experience as a Manufacturing Supervisor at GENMED Health Import & Export honed my leadership skills, where I led production planning and ensured compliance with quality standards, resulting in improved productivity.
Currently, I am expanding my skill set as a Restaurant Host at Hard Rock Hotel, where I apply my strong communication and problem-solving skills in a fast-paced environment. I am eager to bring my diverse experience and dedication to a new opportunity where I can contribute to a team and continue to grow professionally.
