Summary
Devoted supply chain and procurement professional with over 7 years of experience in logistics, government procurement, and inventory management, particularly in a fast-paced, heavily regulated environment. Throughout my career, I’ve had the responsibility of managing assets worth over $29 million, all while ensuring compliance with purchasing regulations. Keeping our teams ready for audits at any time has been a significant change for us, one of the reasons we have an internal audit track record that I am proud of. I have spent much time with ERP systems such as GCSS-Army and SAP-Oracle, focusing on streamlining processes and empowering teams internationally, and across the United States. From a leadership perspective, I was fortunate enough to lead a team of over 40, and I have always made economical decisions and brought forth robust operational results where necessary. I do like to learn something new, take on difficult and challenging tasks, and tackle problems that lead back to success for your business. I am determined to always improve and grow in any area of my work field.
