What I'm looking for

I seek roles that leverage information science and operations skills in collaborative teams, where I can optimize processes, implement systems, and drive measurable improvements.

I am an information science professional with over three years' practical experience across library services, logistics, sales, and production management. I combine hands-on operational improvements with strong customer and stakeholder engagement to drive measurable results.

In library roles I led digitization of over 5,000 resources, improved retrieval efficiency through DDC and LCSH cataloguing, and supported ILS implementation to reduce circulation time. In production and logistics I implemented JIT inventory, optimized workflows, and reduced lead times while increasing output and reducing waste.

I am passionate about continuous learning, process optimization, and delivering value through data-driven decision making and collaborative leadership.
