As a fan of Popular Science magazine, I grew up with a fascination with technology, and the societal impacts they cause. Wanting to be a part of the innovation, I pursued an undergraduate degree in Materials Engineering at Purdue University. Now, years later, the passion had not faded but rather shifted to how businesses influence these societal impacts; Whether it be market expansion, a new product offering, or otherwise, there's always a reason behind a decision. Therefore, my recent pursuits have all been about diving headfirst into these decisions as a program manager with DTNA, aided with all the backings of knowledge from my MBA and MSBA program at Indiana University, Kelley School of Business. Throughout my career, here are just some of the moments I am most proud of:- Rapid prototype creation for a late-shift strategic decision, providing tracking and distribution to keep the DD15TCO development milestones on target.- Lead component engineer for an export program in Mexico, Colombia, and Peru all about extending product life with local fuel quality.- Nearly complete autonomy to creating a process within Engineering, focused on increasing customer quality and risk management resolution.- One-month ramp-up on a project, while simultaneously leading financial and technical strategy compilation on a time-critical, regulatory project.As of November 2022, I have decided to embark to learn the Korean Language at Yonsei University in Seoul, South Korea. Here I will gain further insights on how to do business in the region for a more well-rounded vision for how international businesses function and work together.
