What I'm looking for

I seek a hands-on supply chain role where I can apply SAP, MRP, and planning skills to reduce waste, improve inventory accuracy, and support cross-functional teams in a collaborative, continuous-improvement culture.

I am a detail-oriented supply chain and logistics professional with hands-on experience in production planning, MRP execution, scheduling, inventory control, and SAP ERP systems. I pursue practical improvements that streamline material flow and eliminate production bottlenecks.

My recent roles include shipper & receiver work in a retail distribution environment and quality and production planning roles in manufacturing and logistics firms, where I used SAP, handheld scanners, and Excel analytics to increase throughput and accuracy.

I have led and supported process improvement initiatives, conducted compliance audits, and contributed to CAPA actions that improved yields and reduced recurring issues. I combine technical knowledge—SAP MM, MRP runs, inventory visualization—with lean thinking and strong communication to support integrated planning teams.

I am completing a Postgraduate Certificate in Supply Chain Management – Logistics at Fanshawe College and hold certifications in inventory management fundamentals, SAP ERP for SCM leaders, OSHA, and Six Sigma Yellow Belt, positioning me to add immediate operational value.
