Summary

As a senior business student with hands-on experience in procurement, supply chain, and marketing across the automotive and steel industries, I take pride in getting things done efficiently and effectively. Whether it’s conducting market research or ensuring smooth procurement operations, I focus on results that move the needle. My background in marketing helps me analyze industry trends, strengthen supplier relationships, and drive business success.

At my core, I’m a team player who values accountability, adaptability, and relationship-building. I bring a proactive mindset, strong work ethic, and a great attitude—because I believe success comes not just from hard work, but from enjoying the process and loving what you do.
