I'm a detailed-oriented and driven purchasing professional with a knack for digging into contracts and data to uncover cost-saving opportunities and reduce shrink. I love the challenge of solving problems under pressure, juggling multiple projects, and helping teams find overlooked insights that can make a real impact. With strong research and recall skills, I bring clarity to complex information and use it to support smart, strategic purchasing decisions that benefit both the business and its stakeholders.
