As an Area Manager in Amazon Logistics, I have had the opportunity to work on various improvement projects for my assigned warehouse and the region. Here, I discovered a passion for continuous improvement and project work. I had been sharpening my data skills to make data driven decisions and use visualisation techniques to propose changes to stakeholders. I am eager to apply my skills to a new role where I can continue to refine and improve my skills.
