What I'm looking for

I’m seeking remote procurement or trade coordination roles with international organizations, where I can support supplier onboarding, compliant customs processes, and cost savings through RFQs, negotiation, and accurate ERP-driven procurement data.

I’m a Procurement & International Trade professional with hands-on experience across supplier evaluation, price negotiation, RFQ/competitive bidding, and customs compliance. I’m currently completing my B.S. in International Relations while executing a full purchasing cycle at Kia México—one of Mexico’s largest automotive manufacturers.

I strengthen onboarding by validating tax documentation (RFC, CFDI) and ensuring regulatory adherence using Mexican Customs and Commercial Law knowledge. I also support procurement data integrity through VAATZ ERP and procurement database management, translating material classification and bill-of-materials details into better sourcing decisions.
