What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that offers growth opportunities, a collaborative culture, and the chance to leverage my logistics and procurement expertise.

I am a highly motivated and innovative professional with a Master of Science in Finance and International Trade. My experience as an Expediting & Shipment Specialist at FQM-Kansanshi Mine PLC has honed my skills in monitoring deliveries, coordinating logistics, and ensuring timely processing of shipments. I thrive in fast-paced environments and am dedicated to maintaining high standards of efficiency and organization.

Previously, as a Sourcing Specialist at Ce Vital, I successfully sourced goods from local and international suppliers while analyzing purchasing trends to identify cost-saving opportunities. My internship at Numilog SPA provided me with a solid foundation in logistics, where I assisted in coordinating transportation and managing inventory levels. I am passionate about building strong relationships with suppliers and ensuring compliance with industry regulations.
