Purchasing Senior Buyer
CurrentProcurement of goods in support of The Jamul Indian Village Development Corporation (dba: Jamul Casino). First hand experience opening a brand new Casino. Although starting out as the General Buyer, I was able to step in and assist with F&B Buying when the original Buyer left prior to opening. I assumed my role as the General Buyer once the new Food Buyer was hired. I am responsible for Identifying Vendors and procuring all goods and services in support of all Departments. Years of experience in Tribal Gaming regulations as it pertains to procurement of goods, services, and Licensing of Vendors. Very strong Vendor base with positive results. Experience using Stratton Warren Procurement Software. Recently finished rebranding Casino in less than six weeks. Assisted in approximately seventy projects property wide. I found it to be a challenging, fast paced experience. Very rewarding to step back at the end and really appreciate what we accomplished as a team!
