What I'm looking for

I seek logistics or operations roles where I can apply lean methods, lead teams, improve inventory accuracy, and grow into broader supply-chain responsibilities.

I am an experienced Area Manager with over three years leading high-performance teams in retail logistics and operations at Sam’s Club and Walmart. I focus on optimizing supply chain processes, implementing lean methodologies, and driving measurable operational improvements.

My hands-on background includes supervising shipping operations, implementing 5S and visual management tools, and designing cross-training programs that increase flexibility and reduce downtime. I bring practical experience in inventory control using cycle counting, RFID tagging, and RF scanners.

I am bilingual in English and Spanish and committed to safety and quality assurance, having led safety audits, preventive maintenance programs, and incident investigations. I maintain high standards for employee training, engagement, and continuous improvement.

I am pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Logistics and Transportation Management and seek roles that leverage my logistics, warehouse operations, and team leadership strengths, with interest in opportunities in Colombia.
