What I'm looking for

I’m exploring fully remote positions across a variety of fields. My diverse background has equipped me with a broad skill set, including adaptability, problem-solving, and cross-cultural communication, and I’m excited to apply these to new challenges.

With over 11 years of experience in various roles within the supply chain cluster at FrieslandCampina, I have developed a diverse skill set that includes adaptability, problem-solving, and cross-cultural communication. Currently, I am working as a Dutch Freelance Writer for Outlier, where I utilize my logical reasoning skills to train AI models and assess Dutch text accuracy.

My journey has equipped me with a broad understanding of customer needs, particularly in processing sea freight and trucking orders for North African, Middle Eastern, and European markets. I have successfully coordinated with sales clusters to drive seamless execution and achieve strategic goals. My previous roles have also involved handling complex invoicing processes and participating in various projects, enhancing my expertise in export compliance and documentation.

I also hold a TEFL certification, allowing me to teach English, and I am eager to explore opportunities in online teaching. My commitment to continuous learning and my ability to adapt to new challenges make me a valuable asset in any team.
