I am an Operations Management student at the University of Calgary with an interest in optimizing business processes and driving social impact. During my internship with The City of Calgary’s Public Value team in the Supply Management department, I contributed to the Social Procurement Program and laid the foundation for a project aimed at supporting women-owned businesses. This experience provided me with valuable skills in auditing and data analysis, as I took on the responsibility of developing and evaluating procurement questionnaires.In addition to my internship, I also had the opportunity to volunteer at the Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM) conference 2024, where I represented The City of Calgary. This experience allowed me to interact with elected officials and senior administrators from across Canada, further broadening my understanding of public value and community impact.My volunteer work with CIWA has strengthened my commitment to community involvement and inclusive business practices. I am passionate about integrating social value into supply/operations management and exploring innovative solutions that enhance business performance.I am excited to connect with professionals and organizations to explore how we can collaborate on strategic initiatives that drive business success and create positive social impact.
