About

Procurement leader with a proven ability to drive cost savings, strengthen supplier performance, and elevate purchasing operations across complex, fast‑moving environments. I specialize in strategic sourcing, supplier management, contract analysis, and Workday‑based procurement, with a focus on building scalable processes and delivering measurable financial impact. As a Purchasing Specialist at GoHealth, I oversee end‑to‑end procurement activities, guide stakeholders through purchasing decisions, and ensure alignment between operational needs and financial objectives. In 2025, I delivered $1.2M in cost savings through competitive sourcing, supplier negotiations, and contract optimization—demonstrating my ability to lead initiatives that directly improve the bottom line. I manage supplier relationships, analyze spend data, and develop SOPs that improve compliance, visibility, and efficiency. My approach blends data‑driven decision‑making with practical operational insight, enabling teams to move faster while maintaining strong controls and governance. My earlier roles in procurement administration and identity access management strengthened my ability to streamline workflows, improve provisioning processes, and identify cost‑saving opportunities tied to hardware, logistics, and lifecycle planning. This operational foundation allows me to lead procurement with a broader understanding of how purchasing decisions impact the entire organization. I’m committed to continuous improvement, cross‑functional leadership, and building procurement functions that deliver long‑term value. Open to connecting with professionals in procurement operations, category management, and supply chain leadership.
