ABOUT ME
Hello! Thanks for visiting my portfolio. I have extensive trade compliance experience, including corrective action analysis, SAP GTS, and writing work instructions and training documents for trade compliance systems and processes.
​
I enjoy writing and have written several instruction manuals for systems, including a complete user manual for SAP GTS that was very well received by users.
​
I also happen to love snow and plan on moving north when I retire. Northern Virginia just does not get enough snow for me.
