I manage import/export compliance, licensing, and trade controls under ITAR and EAR.

United States
Message

At Howmet Aerospace, I prepare and submit export licenses while ensuring compliance with ITAR, EAR, company policies, and government regulations.

I've led internal policy development for U.S. and international trade compliance, conducted export reviews across U.S. business-unit sites, and identified and corrected control gaps. I also report potential violations, support investigations and voluntary disclosures, and maintain import records.

I collaborate with cross-functional teams on licensing applications, international travel and visit requests, purchase orders, and shipment documentation. I approve 7501 entries by validating HTS classifications and conduct import/export training for staff.

Previously, at Signature Graphics, I managed inventory for 25 clients, coordinated North American export shipments, and served as a liaison across departments. I'm a Licensed Customs Broker with a Bachelor of Professional Studies in Business.
