What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a hands-on procurement and supply chain role where I can apply analytical logistics skills, refine my procurement expertise, and contribute to innovation and operational excellence through strategic learning and real responsibilities.

I’m a recent Bachelor of Commerce graduate in International Supply Chain Management (IMM Graduate School, Class of 2024), driven by procurement, logistics, and business management. Through my studies, I developed a strong understanding of supply chain principles, data analytics, and logistics management, and I consistently applied my problem-solving, organizational, and teamwork skills in both coursework and practical projects.

In my work experience, I’ve supported client satisfaction through clear communication, market research, product knowledge, and relationship building as a Sales Executive, including being ranked 2nd in sales with R191,200 in March 2022. More recently, I’ve worked as a Procurement Officer, receiving and creating RFQs, communicating with suppliers on pricing and lead times, creating purchase orders, supporting supply chain activities, and performing costing analysis to uphold production timelines and operational efficiency.
