Summary
Recently I have earned a procurement certificate to complement my Bachelor of Science degree in Business and enhance what I've learned as Supervisor in multiple Lidl locations, to pursue a career in supply chain. A reliable and dedicated problem solver with excellent critical thinking skills developed my ability to analyze data, discover root problems, and develop innovative solutions. Additionally, I was awarded employee of the month as a Supervisor and Associate.
