I'm a supply chain and procurement professional with 5+ years of experience in raw material procurement, SAP MM/MRP, supplier performance management, and inventory planning across food manufacturing and regulated consumer products environments. What separates me is simple, I lead people first. I've built teams where people showed up early, stayed late, and covered for each other not because policy required it but because they felt valued. That culture shows up in the results, including a 16% inventory reduction and 20% supplier OTIF improvement at McCormick & Company. My Sociology and Anthropology background gives me a genuine edge in building trust across diverse teams, understanding what motivates suppliers and stakeholders, and navigating complexity without losing sight of the people on both sides of every decision. I'm also a Lean Six Sigma Green Belt who takes process improvement seriously. I bring analytical rigor and people first leadership to every role I step into and I don't believe you have to choose between the two. I'm drawn to environments where developing people and driving operational results are seen as the same goal, not competing priorities.
