NOTE ON WORK HISTORY
My career spans founder-level entrepreneurship, operations/HR management, hospitality, and client-facing marketing across multiple countries. This breadth reflects adaptability and cross-functional strength rather than a lack of focus — for procurement and import roles, my most directly relevant and recent experience is the full-cycle sourcing and compliance work at Birtoll & Co.
