My experience working at multiple levels in the supply chain field, combined with my background in mathematics and optimization, make me highly skilled at identifying effective solutions to challenges in our supply chains and across organizations.

My ultimate goal is to influence a priority shift toward climate change and social consciousness in the logistics and supply chain industry. I believe that by creating a more inclusive workforce focused on developing solutions that benefits the customer while reducing carbon emissions, we can create a ripple-effect of change that impacts all people, communities, and the planet.
