What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can combine procurement/supply chain discipline with financial and credit analysis, improve processes, and use digital tools to reduce turnaround times and support customers and growth.

I’m a results-driven professional combining procurement and supply chain management with financial analysis, with hands-on experience across banking and logistics. As a Banking Assistant, I manage daily transactions and customer inquiries while implementing a digital banking system to boost online transactions and reduce wait times.

Previously, I strengthened lending outcomes as a Credit Assistant by analyzing creditworthiness, preparing loan files, and managing debt recovery to reduce overdue accounts. Earlier roles as a Logistics Assistant and Procurement Intern built my ability to coordinate shipments, support procurement administration, and negotiate responsibly—grounded by CIPS training in Commercial Negotiation and Ethical Sourcing.
