What I'm looking for

I seek remote operations or project management roles where I can streamline logistics, lead small teams, apply digital marketing and signage design skills, and contribute in a collaborative, growth-minded company with client-facing responsibilities.

I am a versatile operations and project manager who has overseen warehouse operations, inventory control, transactions, and customer support while directing end-to-end project execution. I have led small teams, prepared bids, negotiated contracts, and delivered signage designs for over 35 clients from concept through completion.

I work remotely from India supporting U.S.-based operations and bring practical skills in QuickBooks, Microsoft Office, Google Suite, Adobe CC, WordPress and digital marketing. I hold certifications in cybersecurity tools, digital marketing, UX/web design and EV charging retrofit work, and I prioritize clear communication, creative problem-solving and reliable operational delivery.
