About

I’m a business operations professional with experience supporting fast-moving workflows, coordinating cross-functional teams, and building systems that improve clarity and efficiency. In my current role within the logistics industry, I help manage daily operational processes and ensure projects stay organized and on track. I’m naturally detail-oriented and proactive, I enjoy identifying where processes can be improved and creating structure that allows teams to work more effectively. Alongside my professional experience, I’m completing a degree in Business Management and Leadership. Balancing full-time work with my studies has strengthened my time management, accountability, and long-term strategic thinking. I’m especially interested in growing within operations and leadership roles where I can help scale systems, support strong team culture, and contribute meaningfully to organizational growth.
