Supply Chain Analyst

What do you do in your current position? I am a supply chain analyst for the corporate process improvement team. My responsibilities include compiling the inventory data from across the divisions and helping with projects that will improve the supply chain.

How has your PSU engineering education/experiences helped to get you where you are today? The PSU engineering program encouraged me to search for internships and co-ops. Through these experiences I was able to experience several different roles in industry. This experience helped me understand what career path I wanted to take and also helped me in the interviewing process. The classes I took helped me improve my problem solving skills and my ability to work in a team.

How has your experience as an EA impacted your professional life so far? The most important thing Engineering Ambassadors has been my ability to speak effectively and confidently. In my current position I work with people from a variety of locations and who don't always speak English as a first language. It is important for me to understand what needs to be communicated up the chain of command.
