Summary

I have worked at three different logistics companies, ranging from small to medium-sized to large, an experience I began just one day after moving to the U.S. without speaking English. This journey required me to become a highly adaptable and rapid learner, allowing me to progress from a Logistics Coordinator to an Account Executive. In these roles I have honed my skills in strategic operation, negotiation, inside and outside sales, strategic planning, and building client relationships.
