What I'm looking for

I'm interested in contributing to international organisations and companies in operations, administration, project support, procurement, or business support roles.

At Tata Marie Food and Beverage Production, I founded and managed an artisanal food-production business, overseeing operations from production planning through packaging and sales. I supervised production and quality control for products including syrups, jams, olive oil, and canned tomatoes, and managed purchasing, machinery maintenance, and financial tracking with Excel.

I also founded Kanoun Wine, an artisanal wine brand that reached approximately 2,000 bottles in 2023. Earlier, I managed agricultural operations at Family Farm, coordinating crop care, harvesting, storage, and marketing; more recently, I supported kitchen operations at Avenida Hotel and Restaurant and Mesón de Benas.
