About

I help projects succeed by keeping teams aligned, data accurate, and deadlines on track. I bring experience in global sourcing, procurement, and new product launches, along with analytical skills using SAP, Power BI, Excel and Google Workspace. I’m fluent in English, Spanish, and French, thrive in multicultural teams, and have a proactive, problem-solving mindset. I’m pursuing CAPM certification to add even more value in Project Management, Procurement, or Strategic Sourcing roles.
