About

Experienced industrial clerk with more than seven years of professional experience in international business operations. My main focus areas include international sales, import and export coordination, customs processes, procurement, as well as supplier and inventory management. In my current role, I coordinate import and export activities, work closely with customs agents and logistics providers, and monitor delivery and transport processes. I also support marketing projects, create content, and organize trade fair participations from planning to execution. Other parts of my work include quotation and order processing, communication with customers and suppliers, and the structured coordination of office and business processes. I have successfully completed my DEKRA certification as an Import, Export and Customs Specialist. In addition, I continuously expand my knowledge in ATLAS (ZODIAK GE) and SAP S/4HANA to further strengthen my capabilities in international trade and logistics operations. I am known for my structured, solution-oriented way of working and for taking responsibility in dynamic and international business environments.
