“My Clifton Builders experience has truly shaped who I am today. It offered invaluable real-world insights, honing my critical thinking skills that have been instrumental in both my personal and professional life.”
Growing up in Grand Island, Nebraska, with immigrant parents, I faced unique challenges adapting to a new culture. Fortunately, I received a scholarship to attend the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, and that’s where my journey took off. I quickly immersed myself in intramural soccer, Greek life, and the supply chain club. My involvement in the supply chain club was particularly impactful—I eventually became president, forging essential connections within the Nebraska supply chain community.
The Clifton Builders program played a pivotal role in developing my communication skills, especially in pitching ideas. Today, I use these skills to propose improvements and optimize processes at my company. One of my proudest achievements is leading a cost-savings safety stock project, which resulted in a remarkable $500,000 savings through accurate forecasting and inventory management.
Looking ahead, I aspire to become a supply chain vice president or continue contributing to the supply chain community.
P.S. Jesus loves you.
