What I'm looking for

I consistently improve operations by collaborating with teams, freight forwarders, and vendors to meet schedules and resolve discrepancies.
My background includes roles at food distribution and manufacturing companies where I scheduled inbound freight, entered and verified purchase orders, managed backhauls, and maintained production flow with limited storage. I bring precise data-entry skills, hands-on warehouse experience, and a commitment to operational efficiency that reduces downtime and supports customer satisfaction.
