What I'm looking for

I'm looking to apply my supply chain, procurement, logistics, forecasting, and reporting experience to improve fulfillment execution, cost control, and cross-functional project delivery.

At Walgreens Boots Alliance, I forecast and track timelines, milestones, order status, and budgets for 20+ large-scale store openings, conversions, and Beauty & Health initiatives. I use Excel, Power BI, SQL, SAP, and Ariba to keep fulfillment, costs, and project execution on track.

I've worked across retail, CPG, manufacturing, construction, and hospitality operations, coordinating procurement, vendor logistics, inventory, returns, invoices, and delivery timelines. At Mizkan America and IMS Engineered Products, I reconciled inventory, supported domestic and international shipments, analyzed material forecasts, and aligned production capacity with customer commitments.

I serve as a reliable point of contact for field teams, vendors, clients, finance, operations, design, category managers, and demand planning teams. I focus on resolving fulfillment issues early, improving order accuracy, and giving teams clear reporting to make better decisions.
