Hobbies: Gardening, taking pictures and avid writing
I’m a Supply Chain Enthusiast and I love to learn about the current trends and practices in the Supply Chain Industry. Before starting my journey with UTD as a Supply Chain Management graduate student, I worked in the Retail and Manufacturing industries for about 5 years. My areas of interest are Demand and Supply Planning, Production Planning, Procurement, Supplier Relationship Management, and Global SCM Operations. I have been fortunate enough to get the roles, which have helped me inculcate strong interpersonal, problem-solving, and analytical skills in me. I have learned the art of collaboration to establish partnerships with cross-functional teams, which allows me to contribute as an excellent team player and work in conjunction with different functions of the supply chain. This summer I worked with CLDS of UTD as a Pro Bono Consultant to help a DFW based grocer streamline their manufacturing and demand forecasting practices. I’m also the Vice President of the APICS UTD Chapter where we help students to engage with industry professionals and learn about the dynamic field of Supply Chain Management through their experiences.
