   Feeding Tampa Bay

   Jun 2023 — Present · Tampa, FL, US

   I am in charge of securing food supplies and building positive relationships with food donors. This role is crucial in developing and sustaining relationships with existing food donors while also seeking out new ones through solid account management principles. I handle the acquisition of various types of food from a range of suppliers, including distributors, manufacturers, processors, and farmers.

This position is vital in increasing the quantity, quality and diversity of all food that comes into our organization.
