    About

    About
    I am a Procurement Specialist with over one year of experience at Air Astana, the national airline of Kazakhstan, where I manage procurement processes, supplier communication, market research, contract documentation, and purchasing activities. Previously, I completed an internship at Nestlé in the Finance Department, gaining experience in financial documentation and business operations. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in International Relations and a Master’s degree in Foreign Languages. My background combines procurement, international business, aviation, and cross-cultural communication. I am looking to further develop my career in Procurement, Purchasing, Supply Chain, or Business Operations within an international company.
