Could you walk me through your career path, starting with your experiences in college and any internships or jobs you had before your current role?
Absolutely. Currently, I work as a procurement agent at the Boeing Company.
Prior to that, at WP Carey, I had an on-campus job as a global peer mentor. I helped support international students with their transition and with events that needed to take place for their smooth journey to college.
The summer between my junior and senior year, I was a supply chain intern at the Boeing Company. I worked as a data science intern supporting supply chain operations.
From there, I was offered a full-time role at the company. I opted for an alternative placement because I wanted something a little bit different. That's the path that set me up for my current role.
