What I'm looking for

I'm looking for a role where I can manage vendor relationships, renewals, procurement, and operational processes while improving cost visibility, documentation, service continuity, and cross-functional coordination.

At the Certified Financial Planner Board of Standards, I managed a $250K+ portfolio of SaaS, technology, and service renewals, coordinating vendors and stakeholders to prevent service interruptions and unplanned auto-renewals. I also eliminated approximately $50K in annual print-management expenses while keeping printers available for use.

I've supported procurement, contract administration, invoice processing, budget tracking, vendor issue resolution, and IT onboarding across the Certified Financial Planner Board of Standards and the American Society of Anesthesiologists. I bring structure to vendor spending, documentation, and cross-functional work so teams can make informed decisions and keep operations moving.
