Brief Description of What You Do
I currently work in the supply chain field as a Corporate buyer (Procurement Agent). I have worked in both defense and commercial business units to ensure superior production is completed with quality parts on time. A lot of my job is building trusting relationships with suppliers and ensuring contractual obligations are met.
What advice would you give current students?
You have a long road ahead of you to build your career. I have worked over 20 years of different jobs and never thought that I would have a career that fit my professional goals. Shortly after I finished college, I chose to have a family first instead of pursuing a full-time professional career. After 20 years of being out of college, I now have a fulfilling career and see continued growth in my professional life. Don't ever give up on what you actually WANT to do.
