Summary

I am someone who has always believed in hard work, consistency, and continuous learning. Over the past year, I've dedicated myself to developing both my professional skills and my personal growth. I enjoy working in environments where I can challenge myself, contribute meaningfully, and learn something new every day. Outside of work, I’m passionate about self-improvement, communication, and staying motivated, even when things get difficult. I believe that mindset is everything, and I try to bring that energy into everything I do. Customer-oriented, strategic-thinking procurement professional with several years of experience in building relationships, cultivating partnerships, retaining top accounts, and growing profit channels. Multi-tasking and self-motivated leader with expertise in expanding network connections, persuasively introducing products, implementing pricing and merchandising models, inventory control and projections, territory development, and revealing customer needs to deliver solutions.
