Summary
I began my career in logistics with DHL in 2013, where I progressed into an acting Senior Loader position, taking on additional responsibility and leading shifts prior to the formal interview stage. After leaving the business, I gained further experience across various warehousing roles before joining DPD in 2020 as a delivery driver, strengthening my knowledge of end-to-end distribution operations.
In 2022, I co-founded AJ Freight, overseeing all aspects of the business including operations, client acquisition, compliance, fleet coordination, and managing a team of three employees. I rejoined DHL through an agency in October 2025, bringing with me broad operational and leadership experience across the logistics sector.
