Message

At Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation, I analyze inventory to identify excess and obsolete materials and support redistribution and disposition strategies. These efforts contributed to reducing E&O exposure by $50M in 2025 and $30M in 2026 YTD.

I lead monthly demand and inventory reviews with Engineering, Procurement, and Operations, helping improve planning accuracy and reduce shortages by 10% and excess inventory by 22%. I also use SAP to identify production-flow risks and support 98% schedule adherence across 4,000+ part numbers.

As a Material Planner I at Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation, I established and managed MRP for 2,000+ part numbers and $10M+ in materials. I initiated purchase orders from planning signals and adjusted planning parameters as demand and supplier performance changed.

Earlier, at Pye Barker Fire & Safety and Legacy Housing Corporation, I managed purchasing and inventory planning, maintained item data, and supported ERP integration for acquired businesses. I hold a Bachelor of Business Administration & Management from Kennesaw State University and an Excel Data Analysis Certificate from Rice University.
