What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated procurement officer with a strong background in logistics and supply chain management.

I also experience working in customer support and content writing, where I have built knowledge of relationship-building, case management, and great interpersonal and communication skills. I have also built proficiency in software such as Notion, Monday.com, Salesforce, and Microsoft 365 with an aptitude for technology.
