I am an accomplished, self-directed, and results-driven professional with over twelve years of experience in direct and indirect procurement and inventory leadership in the hospitality industry. I believe in strong ethics, being detailed oriented, and maintaining a high focus on achieving personal and business growth. I am experienced in setting up new and re-developing existing centralized purchasing departments to maximize the use of technology, align with company standards, promote the highest level of ethics, standardize processes, reduce costs and increase revenues. My extensive leadership experience, while not limited to purchasing and inventories, also includes experience in sales and marketing, market research, pricing, merchandising, commercial and residential real estate, home design and remodeling, photography, and videography. I am currently located in the mid-Atlantic region, am open to relocation, and looking for an opportunity with a growth-oriented company, where I may contribute to that organization's success.
