About

2nd year BBA student at emlyon business school, specializing in operations, supply chain, and project management. I am currently working at Latecoere Bulgaria, where I lead a project focused on improving chemical consumption tracking and reducing chemical scrap across aerospace production lines. This role allows me to work at the intersection of shop-floor operations, procurement, data analysis, and industrial performance. My experience combines operational problem-solving, logistics coordination, HR and workforce planning, and large-scale event management. I have worked with tools such as Excel, SAP MM, Power BI, and Meta Business Suite to structure data, improve decision-making, and support both industrial and organizational projects. Alongside my academic background, I have led event and communication projects within the BDE at emlyon ( Student Council ) , managing large student events, budgets, teams, suppliers, and digital campaigns. These experiences strengthened my ability to coordinate stakeholders, work under pressure, and turn planning into concrete execution. I am particularly interested in supply chain, operations, procurement, logistics, and industrial performance, and I am looking to keep developing in roles where data, field reality, and business decisions are closely connected.
