Passionate about process improvement, inventory management, and strategic cost savings.
United StatesI seek a procurement leadership or individual contributor role where I can drive sourcing & cost-saving initiatives, process automation, and mentor colleagues within a compliance-focused, collaborative organization.
I am a procurement and operations professional with extensive experience in global sourcing, supplier management, and cost optimization. Throughout my career, I’ve built a strong reputation as a reliable leader and collaborator, known for clear communication and the ability to develop lasting relationships with vendors and stakeholders. I excel in problem-solving, process improvement, and managing competing priorities in fast-paced environments, consistently delivering on organizational objectives.
My professional interests center on continuous improvement, strategic cost savings, and inventory management, where I’ve successfully implemented initiatives that improved efficiency and reduced costs. I am highly adaptable, motivated, and thrive both as an independent contributor and as part of a team.
I hold an M.Ed. in Business & Workforce Development and a B.S. in Business Management from Indiana University of Pennsylvania, and I am passionate about applying my skills to drive sustainable results and support company growth.
