Summary

I am a Supply Chain Professional with experience in various roles within the industry. I made the transition into this field December 2016, while completing my Supply Chain Certification through George Brown College. This education gave me great leverage in the transitional period from my Recreation background. Due to my current and previous roles within warehousing, management, administration, logistics, inventory management, procurement and purchasing, I am confident that I would bring a skilled advantage to any company. As a team-oriented leader that strives to be a positive addition to any environment, every successful leap in my professional career is due to my dedication to my position and my team. I have a proven track record of improving company infrastructure at multiple levels of their supply chain needs.
