My name is:
Kaitlyn Parenti
I am:
A lead general supply specialist for the Clothing and Textiles supply chain at DLA Troop Support.
Describe your job in a sentence:
As a team lead, it’s my job to train and lead my team to research and identify the root cause of transaction errors in DLA’s enterprise business systems.
How long have you worked at DLA?
I’ve worked at DLA for a little more than six years.
What is your favorite thing about working for DLA?
First, I like knowing I’m helping take care of our customers and troops. Second, I’ve developed relationships with some wonderful people who have become my friends and/or mentors.
What are your best memories of working here?
The best recent memory would be receiving recognition from DLA Troop Support Commander Army Brig. Gen. Charles Hamilton after eight months as a team lead for C&T.
How do you make a difference?
I think the biggest difference I make is with my inventory team, whom I’ve trained and worked closely with the past year and a half. I’ve set reasonably high standards, and to have my team meet those standards has made me proud. I believe that will make a difference when the day comes that they need to train new general supply specialists.
