Summary
After managing a retail business for 15 years, I started a new career as an international wholesaler in 1990, which would eventually lead me into the logistics field. I have spent the last 22 years working as a shipping coordinator, processing UPS, FedEx, DHL and LTL freight orders, along with strong customer service interaction. I'm also a skilled "people person," able to manage a small staff or simply motivate co-workers as a quiet leader.
Highlights
Safety conscious
Organized and detail-oriented
Strive for customer satisfaction
Moral among co-workers increases productivity
I am bilingual (Spanish)
Wide range of international logistics contacts
Excessive overhead limits company profits
