My career is built on a deep appreciation for interpersonal interactions and a passion for negotiation, always seeking the best value at the most favorable prices. My procurement journey began in 2012 in the facilities division of the Agricultural industry, where I joined John Deere. From there, I progressed to handling procurement and operations related to warehouse stock until 2018. In 2019, I ventured into the mining industry, becoming a part of Fredenburg's engineering department. I leveraged my procurement expertise to enhance customer service within the Aviation department at Sage Parts. Most recently, I've taken on the role of a procurement specialist in the laundry and catering industry, further expanding my expertise. My career spans various sectors, and I bring a wealth of experience and unwavering dedication to achieving exceptional outcomes in every role I've had the privilege to serve in, including international procurement.

I initially chose contractual work to gain diverse experience in the field of procurement. Now, having reached a point where I've gathered valuable insights and skills, I am eager to make a long-term commitment to a company where I can grow and continuously refine my expertise. My goal is to contribute to the company's success while also advancing my career and becoming a dedicated, long- term team member.
