Professional Profile
Upon my graduation in December 2011, I accepted a position at Sanford Health. I serve as the key liaison between business units and Supply Chain Management to facilitate the identification of business requirements, critical criteria, and specifications in preparation of formal contracting or support engagements. Additionally, I develop business processes and address inefficiencies to coordinate comprehensive project management of supply chain-led initiatives for the Sanford Health System. I plan to also begin my MBA coursework in the fall of 2012.
Internships
Supply Chain Management Intern - Sanford Health. My internship experience provided me with career field learning necessary to complement academic learning. I was fortunate to gain exposure to the vast array of disciplines within the health care environment and better understand how each area contributed to the big picture. Opportunities to coordinate large-scale projects challenged my intellect and encouraged me to step out of my comfort zone. Most importantly, I was presented with a personally uncharted career area that stimulated my interest and led to a fulfilling position.
