## About

```text
I’m a business operations professional with over eight years of experience in operations management, purchasing, vendor relations, financial oversight, and team leadership.

Most recently, I owned and operated a business generating approximately $650K in average annual revenue. I managed daily operations, purchasing budgets, inventory planning, payroll, and a team of up to 15 employees.

Throughout my career, I’ve focused on improving processes and keeping operations organized and efficient. I’ve developed sales tracking systems, improved inventory management procedures, implemented new software platforms, and used financial and sales data to guide business decisions.

I also have experience in vendor sourcing, invoice reconciliation, employee training, project coordination, and financial reporting.

I’m now looking to bring my experience into a remote corporate role, particularly in business operations, purchasing, vendor management, or related areas. I’m organized, comfortable working independently, and enjoy finding practical ways to make processes run more smoothly.
