Without the right suppliers, the customer will not be happy. As such, I love to dig into supplier problems and solve them. That is my contribution to the success of the company.<\/p>\n<p>Ever since I was a young child, I always strived to solve problems. My passion was steered towards social issues. I organized fundraisers and social events to help children, people with illness, those affected by a tragedy, and underprivileged individuals. I thrive on helping others and going beyond with every task. Self-motivation, organization, communication and impact measurement were qualities I learned early on. To solve problems, I focused on key results. Otherwise, I was wasting everyone\u2019s precious time.<\/p>\n<p>Most recently, I have been assisting in a project to reduce recidivism by enhancing and expanding our re-entry system for justice-involved individuals. My background in organizing and managing social marketplaces continues to prove fruitful. I recently rescued a dog and have become a regular at the local dog park where I continue to meet new people. His required attention has taken away from my daily workout schedule but he is worth it.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Current: Senior Procurement Associate, Bain Capital<\/li>\n<li>Previous:\n<ul>\n<li>Senior Analyst \u2013 Strategic Sourcing, Tiffany &amp; Co<\/li>\n<li>Buyer, Gas Construction, National Grid<\/li>\n<li>Lean Six Sigma Intern \u2013 Tiffany &amp; Co<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Education: Bachelor\u2019s Degree, Business Administration: Social Entrepreneurship &amp; Global Supply Chain Management Concentrations, Bryant University<\/li>\n<li>Licenses:\n<ul>\n<li>Ambassador: The Sustainable Procurement Pledge<\/li>\n<li>Lean Six Sigma Yellow Belt Certification.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Honors\/Awards:\n<ul>\n<li>Bryant University Sustainability Certificate Award<\/li>\n<li>Bryant University Senior Advisory Council Member<\/li>\n<li>Omicron Delta Kappa Member<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Association of Supply Chain Management\/ASCM Massachusetts Minuteman Chapter Board Member<\/strong>\u00a0(May 2022 \u2013 Present). \u00a0I am currently pursuing my Certified Supply Chain Professional Certificate through the Association for Supply Chain Management (ASCM). \u00a0Additionally, I have attended various webinars related to the global supply chain industry and networking events through ASCM.
