January 2024- September 2025

Procurement Specialist, Gem State Paper and Supply: I look at projections for items in the Food Service, Towel and Tissue categories. I buy these items in bulk for numerous customers throughout Idaho, Northern Utah, and Northern Nevada. I ensure that pricing is correct from our vendors. I have several projects that I am working on, such as dead stock (stock that does not get sold) and minimum/maximum quantity. I also work on getting samples sent to us for various items for our customers. May 2018-January 2024

PURCHASNG CLERK, Amalgamated Sugar

I was put in charge of purchasing services and tangible items for the supervisors in the factory located in Paul, Idaho, the Ag Departments located in Burley, Idaho and American Falls, Idaho, and our Colorado and Utah warehouses.

The 2020 Corona Virus Social Distancing pandemic presented me with many challenges in my field of work. I was moved from my original desk to another building where I worked solo, away from my team. After a few months, I was then told to move into the main mill, just outside of the

supervisor’soffice.This placed me even further away from the rest of the purchasing team herein Mini-Cassia.Imovedbothtimesandhaveadjustedtothenewareasandcontinuedto excel at my job.I have also trained on my team members responsibilities and am able to cover their job. I have

even trained my team on areas they were unfamiliar with. Some of the other duties I perform are entering quoted prices from vendors, creating purchase orders, checking on purchase orders that are past the original ship date, entering the order confirmations for purchase orders, and converting requisitions to quotes and purchase orders. I work on several different types of contracts for major projects as well. Also, there is an annual maintenance and repair on the different harvest pilers around the company which I was over to organize and create the necessary paperwork and scheduling for these repairs. This involves several Excel workbooks and coordinating times, dates, and pricing to work smoothly. August 2017-May 2018
