What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can own purchasing and inventory execution, partner with vendors and internal teams, and use data analysis to reduce delays and improve process efficiency.

I’m a detail-oriented Purchasing Specialist focused on procurement accuracy, reliable vendor delivery, and inventory readiness. I manage purchase orders end-to-end, track order status, and resolve issues quickly to keep projects on schedule.

In my current role at NDT Residential, I coordinate with vendors, maintain inventory levels across projects, and analyze purchasing data to improve efficiency and reduce delays. I also prioritize cross-functional communication so purchasing aligns with internal project timelines.

Before procurement, I built a strong foundation in education—teaching STEM and math while tracking performance with data analysis and managing multiple deadlines. That background strengthens my organization, problem-solving, and adaptability, whether I’m coordinating classroom operations or responding to changing business priorities.
