What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can own document accuracy and compliance in logistics, collaborate across teams to resolve discrepancies fast, and grow through continuous improvement—while also using my training and coaching strengths.

I have a bachelor’s degree in modern languages with experience as a Logistics Coordinator (verification specialist) focused on ensuring the authenticity and accuracy of freight-related documents, including bills of lading and rate confirmations, so funding and compliance are handled correctly. I also contact brokers and shippers to confirm delivery details, resolve discrepancies, and collaborate with factoring teams to expedite invoice processing—often under tight deadlines.

Alongside logistics, I bring strong customer and people-development experience: I’ve provided tech support via customer chat, mentored and assessed trainees to create personalized improvement plans, and trained new hires with structured materials in both on-site and virtual settings. As an Operations Team Manager, I managed teams of 15–20 representatives, drove performance through coaching, and used root cause analysis to build action plans in deficit areas.
