Work History
Non-Acute Care Coordinator
OSF HealthCare System
Peoria, IL
08.2022 - Current
Spearheaded numerous standardization efforts for the clinic space. The culmination of these efforts led to a Ministry-wide formulary lockdown that both enforced standardization and resulted in widespread cost savings. Current formulary compliance is up to 98% compared to the sub 70% figures we would see prior to lockdown.
Worked closely with Clinical Services to evaluate issues with product standards and inconsistent contract pricing through distribution that resulted in savings of $1.1 million during the 2023 fiscal year. Changes in the 2024 fiscal year resulted in a savings of $544k.
Swiftly handled daily end user requests for nearly 400 clinics in addition to project work that has led to a strong, intimate connection with site managers in the clinic space and bolstered the reputation of the OSF supply chain division.
Corporate Buyer
OSF HealthCare System
Peoria, IL
01.2020 - 08.2022
I consistently kept track of outgoing orders, with a focus on confirmation and solid lead times. I routinely examined internal logistics and made a point to showcase shortcomings for the sake of maximizing efficiency. Customer service is of paramount importance, and I was lauded for my ability to quickly reply to any concerns from an end user.
Undertook a number of projects that include the spearheading of a new end-user service portal implementation, in addition to aggressively analyzing spending tendencies in an effort to both cut costs and establish relationships with new, more effective vendors.
By the end of my tenure, I was the senior buyer for the most voluminous purchasing region of the OSF network, while maintaining outstanding metrics.
Warehouse Team Lead
OSF HealthCare System
Peoria, IL
10.2018 - 01.2020
I worked with my supervisor to assess employees' strengths and weaknesses, and designated work to them accordingly to assure maximum efficiency. I was also the designated trainer for healthcare products that allowed our staff to get a better insight concerning the product's intended clinical use. I quickly become proficient with the warehouse WMS system and was the go-to person for systemic concerns.
Supply Chain Distribution Associate
OSF HealthCare System
Peoria, IL
07.2016 - 10.2018
I was a jack of all trades in the supply chain world at the hospital. I worked closely with floors to ensure they were logistically sound in terms of the number of beds available for incoming patients, appropriate amounts of linens to satisfy excellent patient care, and routinely advised on specific products that would benefit the overall care of the patient in said unit.
Inventory Manager
Casey's General Stores Inc.
Washington, IL
10.2008 - 07.2016
Starting as a stock person, I quickly found an eye for inventory control and was quickly raised to be the person handling sales data, and adjusting our ordering patterns accordingly. This helped to curtail excessive ordering and reduce wasting unsold, expired product. The last three years of my time here was spent working with distributors to reduce superfluous delivery schedules and unwarranted product intake.
Math Lab Tutor
Bradley University

01.2011 - 12.2013
