Starting as a 16-year-old cashier, I worked my way up to become the assistant to a retail food buyer. Fast forwarding more than a decade, I created a centralized purchasing department from the ground up, including sourcing items, selecting vendors, negotiating costs, product development and visual merchandising for six specialty food retail markets in NYC.Let\'s connect!
