About

Supply Chain Senior Analyst with nearly four years of experience driving data-backed decisions across transportation, logistics, warehousing, and retail operations. Currently on Walmart’s Capacity Solutions team, where I turn complex transportation data into actionable insights that improve load coverage, control costs, and strengthen carrier strategy. In my current role, I analyze market trends, load board activity, and carrier performance to identify capacity gaps, mitigate pricing risks, and support smarter freight movement at scale. I thrive at the intersection of analytics and execution—bridging data, strategy, and operations to deliver measurable business impact. Previously, I’ve supported modular planning and in-store optimization at Walmart, managed pricing and bid execution in the transportation sector, and led carrier procurement and recruiting efforts within large logistics organizations. Across every role, I bring strong analytical thinking, cross-functional collaboration, and a bias for problem-solving in fast-paced environments. I’m passionate about using data to improve supply chain efficiency and am always eager to take on challenges that push operations to be faster, smarter, and more resilient.
