I found my passion for supply chains at this education technology startup where my role began as an intern and quickly shifted to a full time position while I continued to pursue my degree. I had the unique opportunity to train middle school, high school, and collegiate students along with professionals in supply chain management principles through live supply chain simulations. Participants played buyer, planner and inventory control roles while I, as the gamification manager, designed and facilitated the simulations. Through research and informational interviews, I crafted virtual end-to-end supply chains complete with elements of strategic sourcing, variable demand and disruptive events that revealed the business impacts of the participants' decisions. This unique opportunity provided me with the critical responsibility of defining, developing, and documenting the simulation story-line process. As I was researching and selecting which supply chains to recreate, I discovered how intricate and variable supply chains can be. This revelation served as the impetus for my fascination with operations and supply chain management and clearly identified my professional path in that area. Key accomplishments in this role:-Created comprehensive software training program that gamified the supply chain process; leveraged by organizations including Austin CAN Academy, Austin Community College; demonstrated at SCTECH Supply Chain Convention. -Successfully trained 200+ people from 9 countries in supply chain principles by facilitating real-life supply chain simulations. -Designed extensive simulation story-lines for grocery stores, gas stations, and coffee beans.
