What I'm looking for

I’m looking to apply my operational and project coordination experience within the private sector—coordinating complex logistics, managing stakeholders and client relationships, and delivering results in fast-paced environments where I can grow.

I’m a First Class History graduate from Queen Mary University of London, with over 3 years’ experience across logistics, sales, and operations in an international business environment. As a Graduate Management Trainee, I coordinated end-to-end logistics operations for domestic and international relocations, managed client relationships, and supported European sales and account delivery—bringing structure to complex, fast-moving work.

I’m used to planning and executing logistics solutions while ensuring delivery within time and budget constraints, and I regularly managed competing priorities to resolve operational challenges under pressure. After 1.5 years of independent travel across South America, I developed strong cross-cultural awareness and adaptability, and I work proficiently in Spanish (B1/B2).
