YU ISHIAI
@yuishiai
Bilingual FDA and logistics compliance specialist who delivers exceptional client support and operational coordination.
What I'm looking for
I’m a bilingual, customer-focused professional with 7+ years of experience across client support, operations coordination, and international logistics. I build strong client relationships while managing complex requests, onboarding clients, resolving issues, and communicating clear, user-friendly explanations in fast-paced environments.
In my current FDA Specialist role, I review regulated product categories for U.S. import eligibility, evaluate compliance requirements under FDA rules and California law (including Proposition 65), and identify restricted or high-risk items before import to prevent delays. Earlier, I coordinated group and VIP travel programs (up to 250 participants) and supported administration, invoicing, documentation, scheduling, and shipment coordination—bringing a detail-oriented, highly organized approach to every handoff.
