Summary
Results-driven Supply Chain Management graduate with hands-on experience in procurement, logistics coordination, and freight operations. Proven ability to manage vendor relationships, forecast demand, negotiate competitive rates, and drive cost-saving initiatives. Strong analytical mindset with a track record of improving on-time delivery (OTD) and optimizing supply chain performance using TMS, 3PL systems, and Microsoft Office Suite. I bring a “can-do” attitude to every task, and while I may be early in my professional journey, my eagerness to learn and grow is relentless.
