About

Thanks to my 10+ experience in supply chain and international trade fields, I had chance to practice many delivery and payment terms at work. Also many cases I faced during doing my job , contributed a lot to my problem solving skills and made me have enough background and knowledge to handle with the new ones. Beside the long years I had and the features that added to my career, I keep eagerness and desire of a new beginner to learn in me as I am a life-long learner and passionate about the turning on new lights in my life. I have expertise in every steps of purchasing, import and export processes held in variety of countries in different regions. I can speak good level of English and enough German -that I am currently actively try it to make it better- to correspond with customers.
