What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can own end-to-end logistics coordination for international operations—especially drydock/shipyard supply—combining materials tracking, inventory control, and process automation (Claude/automation workflows) to improve efficiency and reliability.

I’m a Logistics Coordinator specializing in drydock and shipyard logistics, supporting vessel maintenance projects at international ports. I manage the full materials cycle—receiving and warehousing tools and equipment, coordinating load-out operations with crane and forklift teams, tracking every pallet and container through a proprietary logistics system, and handling the return and repatriation of surplus materials at project completion.

Before logistics, I spent 5+ years in international retail sales with Carnival Cruise Line, consistently hitting high-volume retail sales targets in a multicultural environment. I managed daily and monthly inventory for the ship jewelry department with full stock accuracy and traceability, represented a luxury jewelry brand as a Brand Ambassador, and designed educational sales seminars that boosted engagement and department revenue.

Earlier, I led national and international purchasing processes as an International Purchaser, supporting supplier selection, negotiation, and import coordination for industrial materials. I bring cross-cultural communication and multilingual collaboration, and I’m also comfortable using AI tools like Claude and automation workflows to optimize processing and improve logistics efficiency.
