What I'm looking for

I seek remote roles in global organizations where I can lead procurement and operations, improve processes, ensure compliance, and support growth through data-driven decisions and efficient vendor management.

I am a results-driven Business Administration professional with a BSBA in progress and specialized training in Procurement and Sourcing from Rutgers University. I have led operational setups, vendor contract management, and compliance initiatives within maritime and engineering sectors, delivering cost optimizations and seamless digital reporting implementations.

I combine analytical rigor (Dean's List recognition) with practical experience in supply chain, HR frameworks, and fintech payment strategy for cross-border transactions. I seek remote opportunities with global organizations where I can apply procurement, operations management, and risk-compliance expertise to improve efficiency and support growth.
