What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can own end-to-end import/export operations, strengthen customs compliance, and improve efficiency across the global supply chain—partnering with brokers and logistics teams to reduce risk and deliver measurable operational results.

I’m an International Trade professional with over four years of experience managing end-to-end import and export processes, including customs operations, logistics coordination, and bonded warehouse management. I focus on delivering operational excellence by ensuring compliance with customs regulations, trade legislation, and corporate policies.

In my roles, I’ve coordinated customs clearance and supplier communications, prepared customs documentation and import cost analyses, and optimized shipment planning to improve efficiency. I also bring strong analytical and process-improvement skills through SAP ERP and advanced Excel, and I’ve worked closely with customs brokers, freight forwarders, suppliers, and government authorities.
