In order to get more engaged with our church and community, I accepted a teaching role at Roswell Presbyterian church. I enjoy the challenge and stimulation of working in an engaging learning environment that incorporates music, creative movement, and auditory / visual stimuli. My responsibilities also include maintaining open communication with parents and various stakeholders associated with the program. This program develops preschoolers in the following areas:• Physical development and motor skills• Social and emotional development • Approaches to play and learning • Communication, language, and literacy • Cognitive development and general knowledge

Senior management asked me to take on this leadership role at Accenture's Supply Chain Ideas Exchange, which served as an innovation and thought leadership center on topics related to supply chain technology and emerging best practices.

Topics were customized to address specific strategic business needs in the following areas:• Supply Chain Strategy• Strategic Sourcing• Transportation and Distribution • Warehouse and Facilities Management Another part of this role involved assimilating key insights from supply chain projects into a knowledge management database.

Upon completion of my MBA I accepted a role with the Supply Chain Strategy practice at Accenture. Consulting offered exposure to multiple industries, the opportunity to work with outstanding people, and was a great way to leverage the combination of my Industrial Engineering degree and my MBA.
