What I'm looking for

I seek a role where I can lead procurement operations, improve P2P processes, ensure compliance, drive reporting insights, and partner cross-functionally in a collaborative, growth-oriented organization.

I am a senior procurement and finance professional with extensive hands-on experience supporting indirect procurement operations across higher education, local government, and regulated financial services.

I lead procure-to-order and procure-to-pay workflows, manage purchase orders, and enforce policy compliance while partnering closely with Finance, Legal, and Technology teams to align workflows with financial systems and institutional risk controls.

I have driven measurable improvements—designing training, reducing procurement cycle time by 75% in one engagement, and developing dashboards and reporting to improve spend visibility and leadership decision-making.

I bring 7+ years in commercial procurement and government/defense contracting, supervisory experience, familiarity with FAR/DFARS and audit frameworks, and hands-on experience with COSTPOINT and SAP Ariba to support institutional procurement modernization.
