What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that offers opportunities for growth, collaboration, and the chance to make a meaningful impact in operations management.

I am an aspiring coordinator with a strong foundation in project logistics, meeting planning, and client communication. My experience spans various roles, including procurement officer and supply chain supervisor, where I honed my skills in managing project setups, invoicing, budgeting, and contract development. I pride myself on my excellent work ethic and my ability to provide effective solutions within tight deadlines.

Throughout my career, I have successfully monitored and improved supplier performance, developed sourcing strategies, and maintained strong relationships with stakeholders. My role as a mission planner involved collaborating with local partners and field teams to ensure seamless operations, while my experience in supply chain management at Apple allowed me to lead projects that improved efficiency and reduced costs. I am committed to continuous improvement and fostering a high-performance culture within teams.
