About
Driven Business Administration student with a concentration in Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems and Business Analytics. I bring a unique blend of hands-on logistics experience, technical ERP knowledge—including Systems, Applications, and Products in Data Processing (SAP), Oracle ERP, and the Global Combat Support System–Army (GCSS-Army)—and a deep interest in the intersection of business, healthcare, and technology. I’m passionate about using data to improve processes, uncover insights, and support smarter decision-making.
I’ve built a reputation as a collaborative and empathetic communicator—someone who thrives in team settings and enjoys being a resource for others. Whether supporting procurement efforts, helping peers understand complex systems, or contributing to operational goals, I take pride in being a helper. I'm committed not only to personal growth but to lifting up those around me as well.
