Professional Life
I started my career as a sorter at Amazon Fulfillment Center located in Windsor, CT. Then I got the opportunity to work as a shipment-related problem-solver. I have worked hard during those days as a problem-solver and became the leader of a problem-solving team. Later I was promoted to Level 3 as a Process Assistant. I used to run Vendor Returns (Reverse Logistics) department. I took the department to the top in Amazon’s Fulfillment Network in the US in terms of productivity and quality. In 2021, I had the opportunity to work for FedEx Ground as an Operations Manager. In that same year, I also had the opportunity to work for Freight Handlers, Inc. as an Inbound Operations Supervisor. I saw it as a challenge since the company was launching a new warehouse. Now at Freight Handlers, Inc., I manage a team of problem-solvers to solve inventory-related problems, run dock for receiving, train receivers, write SOPs and Work Instructions, design Decision Maps, populate quality metrics, and do so many things!
