I live life everyday with a passion to make myself and the planet I live on better.  Volunteer work is important to me and I have continuously worked with organizations such as Austin Pets Alive and Meals on Wheels to pursue that passion. I take pride in fitness, nutrition, and spending time with friends and family. I try to lead by example in hopes that others will be more aware of what is going on in the world around them. 

My previous purchasing experience in a fast-paced manufacturing environment was able to develop a lot of my supply chain skills. Purchase orders, requisitions for material, and cost reduction are just some of the skills I learned along with becoming familiar with NetSuite/ERP systems. Additionally while I was there, I maintained inventory levels for direct materials and MRO items as well as forecasting usage for 450+ items. Adding to that, I was responsible for documenting and initiating the SCAR process on $150,000+ worth of damaged or out of tolerance items.

I also achieved a black belt certification in Lean Six Sigma to further my supply chain aspirations and to learn about reducing waste and inefficiencies in the supply chain. This further enhanced my knowledge about continuous improvement projects and how they are structured.

During the 2020 pandemic, I realized it was going to be hard to find a summer job. Because of this, I started my own photography business. I had always been interested in photography but now was an opportunity to take it to a whole new level.  Check out my website at www.PhotoDogATX.com

I am looking for a full time position in the supply chain industry that would align with my corresponding supply chain major. My previous experience in purchasing has taught me foundational procurement skills including sourcing, vendor management, and negotiation skills. I want to find an opportunity that can utilize some of these skills, but also where I have the opportunity to grow and advance both in terms of my career and knowledge.
