About

I’m a multilingual customer-operations and e-commerce professional with a hospitality and media background, combining strong communication with hands-on operational experience. Over the years, I’ve supported bar and customer-facing teams, represented brands through venue activations and staff training, and worked in fast-paced environments where service quality and problem-solving matter.

More recently, I built and managed an Amazon private-label FBA venture, handling supplier communication, sourcing, branding, product presentation, daily marketplace operations, and the administrative side of running a store. Alongside operations, I create visual content through photography and AI-assisted concepts—supporting product imagery, social assets, and marketing experiments—so I can deliver both the customer experience and the visuals that help products stand out.
