My passion for business began with a curiosity in high school about why commodity prices varied across locations and countries. This passion led me to explore logistics, market research, and marketing and procurement strategies, setting the foundation for my professional journey.

After graduating, I briefly explored various business areas at a Big Four firm, gaining insights into sales, accounting, and auditing. However, my enthusiasm sparked, and I joined the Foreign Purchasing Team at my organization. In this pivotal role, I managed supplier negotiations, navigated complex tenders, and strategically addressed stakeholder needs.

My interest in technology further propelled my growth. As the lead on implementing SAP 4/Hana in our department, I designed workflows, facilitated the transition, and supported my colleagues, enhancing my technical expertise and leadership skills.

Dedicated to continuous learning, I earned the CIPS Diploma in Procurement and Supply. I pursued MCIPS status while working towards my PhD, combining expertise with a focus on marketing to bridge operational efficiency and market-driven decision-making.

This journey has been one of growth and impact. I am eager to leverage my skills to contribute meaningfully to procurement and marketing, driving strategies that deliver organizational value and relevance. As I embrace new challenges, the future holds innovation, collaboration, and excellence opportunities.
