Current
I work as a category advisor for L'Oreal within customer supply chain, focused on supporting Walmart initiatives. My day-to-day consists of managing the relationship, providing analytics and insight, and ensuring long-term projects remain on track. I was selected to co-lead the CPD (Consumer Packaged Division) Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion team where we collaborate cross-functionally across the organization to develop and implement our initiatives.
I have experience and expertise in a wide variety of business intelligence tools listed below.
Previous
Previously, I worked on an advanced analytics team for Unilever within the category management function at our Rogers, AR sales office. My team of 5 was recognized by the organization, at a global level, as best in class for the creation of a tool that utilized vast amounts of data to create a cohesive, simple dashboard that highlighted opportunity to action. My specialty within the team was data analysis and visualization, with a strong focus on dashboard creation. I worked in a collaborative effort across multiple functions, including: sales, supply chain, and category management.
There I co-led our diversity & inclusion business resource group within the office. The goal was to not only engage and educate within the office, but participate and engage with the local community. Alongside that, I led the effort to make our office more sustainable.
Prior to that, I managed a retail store: Name Brand Clothing. We sold discounted and/or returned goods from department stores. Not only did we have to merchandise clothing, but housewares, shoes, and electronics. I was responsible for hiring, training, and managing 10-12 full and part-time employees.
In the summer of 2014 I was part of a team that founded and started a local chocolate company: Markham & Fitz. I initially helped out by developing the branding and packaging. Eventually I moved into both a financial and operational role. I mainted and evaluated the financials of the company, as well as, established operational procedures and protocols.
