What I'm looking for

I seek a role that values cross-functional collaboration and offers growth opportunities.

I am a bilingual procurement and business operations specialist with extensive experience in global logistics and vendor negotiations, particularly within the EV battery industry. My background includes managing procurement lifecycles and facilitating international communication, which has allowed me to support large-scale technical projects effectively. I pride myself on bridging cultural and operational gaps between engineering teams and frontline staff, ensuring smooth operations across U.S. and Korean markets.

In my current role as a Project Engineer/Business Administrator at Avaco Inc (UltiumCell), I lead the planning and coordination of equipment installation projects, ensuring adherence to safety regulations and operational timelines. My ability to act as a liaison between Korean OEMs and U.S. contractors has significantly improved cross-functional communication, contributing to timely project milestones. I have also played a crucial role in streamlining procurement operations, optimizing supply chain processes, and enhancing overall efficiency.
