What I'm looking for

I'm interested in a Procurement Analyst or Buyer position where I can build my management talents, develop skills in crafting profit budgets, and gain knowledge for future advancement in management.

At Jones Lang LaSalle/IBM, I managed procurement operations for the Western US IBM region, valued at $2 million, and communicated with regional and departmental managers about PO lifecycles.

At Express Employment Professional/Ryder Logistics, I brokered and built loads in MercuryGate and handled strategic sourcing for chemical bulk and non-bulk RFPs. I also communicated with carriers about compliance and RFP submissions.

At LGXTX/Alan Richey, I supported supervisors and managers with package processing, including overseeing processing of 14K packages as a lead. In 2024, I processed registered mail and helped eliminate errors by 25%.
