In my work, I’ve coordinated day-to-day operations, supported cross-functional documentation, and used Microsoft Excel to prepare detailed reports and maintain compliance. I’ve also led end-to-end supply ordering and stock replenishment for high-volume service and retail operations, strengthening vendor relationships and helping prevent stockouts through forecasting and supplier research.
