Procurement and contract management professional driving compliant sourcing, cost savings, and reliable vendor performance.
What I'm looking for
I’m a results-driven procurement and contract management professional with 8+ years across public and private sectors. I specialize in sourcing, vendor relationship management, contract negotiation, and administrative procurement operations—always aligned with corporate, state, and federal policies.
In recent roles at Kennesaw State University and Atlanta Public Schools, I’ve reviewed purchase requisitions, led competitive bidding workflows (RFQs, sole-source, and RFP/RFI support), evaluated bids and proposals, and prepared contract award documentation. I also monitor supplier performance, resolve issues tied to contracts and billing, and maintain procurement records with strong PO administration and close-outs.
I bring hands-on contract analytics experience from roles including Contract & Pricing Analyst, Contract Administrator, and Contract Analyst—using tools like Model N, Salesforce, SAP, and Excel (pivot tables, VLOOKUPs) to improve accuracy, visibility, and compliance. I’m known for streamlining processes, strengthening vendor performance monitoring, and delivering audit-ready documentation while collaborating effectively across stakeholders.
