About

I’m a senior at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, majoring in Supply Chain Management. I’m driven by the desire to turn ideas into action, tackle challenges with a forward-thinking mindset, and make a meaningful impact through problem-solving and collaboration. These strengths have supported my early success in academic and professional settings, and I’m committed to expanding and refining them as I continue my journey. My passion lies in logistics, operations, and the strategic use of technology to enhance efficiency across global supply chains. As I deepen my understanding of core supply chain principles, I’m actively seeking hands-on experiences that allow me to apply classroom knowledge in real-world contexts. I’m especially excited about internships and collaborative projects where I can contribute to dynamic teams, expand my skill set, and take on challenges that push me to think critically and deliver results.
