I am a graduate from Trinity University in San Antonio, Texas. After being immersed in Spanish/ Latin American culture and language since I was five years old, and after my summer abroad working on a marketing team in Madrid I am proud to say that I am bilingual in English and Spanish. Furthermore I was in a social fraternity at Trinity University for all four years of my undergrad. I have held many leadership positions such as chapter Vice- President, and Vice-President of Fraternal life at Trinity U. My long term goals include achieving my PhD, learning a new language, and eventually working internationally. Right now I am working a part time job at kidsActing Foundation where I am leading summer camps and classes for kids and teaching them about critical thinking, improv, and creativity. I am also walking dogs on the side to keep myself busy and bring in some extra money. Although I enjoy the work that I am doing now, I still see it as a stepping stone for me to begin on while I focus on finding a career path that suits me. I am excited and enthusiastic to try new things and to grow professionally. Previously I worked for 1.5 years at Elite Transit Solutions, llc, a 3rd party logistics company. I started there as an after hours customer service representative (Logistics Account Coordinator). After only 6 months in that position I was moved to the Business Development team, where I planned and mapped all of their shipments. On the Business Development team I took a secondary role supporting the account managers by maintaining clarity and good relationships with our customers. A few months later I was promoted once again to the Procurement Analyst position, where I maintained relationships with, and managed the companies highest priority customers. In my time there I vastly developed my customer service skills, my organizational and time management skills, and I learned a lot about the transportation industry.Contact me at benjamin.blanke123@gmail.com or by phone at (361) 774-9202.
