Summary

Currently working at ALDI as a Store Assistant, with nearly one year of in-store experience, and a strong understanding of ALDI's fast-paced operations, culture, and values. Alongside this, I'm completing my Bachelor of Business majoring in Logistics and Supply Chain Management. I also have several years of ecommerce consulting experience across Australia and the UK. My focus has been on market research, supplier negotiation, competitive analysis, and cost optimisation - skills that directly support project execution and business decision-making. I'm now ready to transition from the shop floor to the project space, contributing my knowledge and energy to ALDI's National Buying team.
