Hello, my name is Shalin Patel, and I am a sophomore at Indiana University Bloomington Kelley School of Business, majoring in Supply Chain Management, Finance, and Business Analytics. Through my journey—whether earning my Associate Degree, leading as president of three high school clubs, or managing a top-ranked mobile game clan—I’ve honed valuable skills such as leadership, event planning, and communication. Most importantly, I’ve developed a mindset of continuous learning, leveraging each mistake and opportunity to grow.Across these experiences, I’ve noticed a common thread: no matter how well-prepared, unexpected challenges arise, and problem-solving becomes essential. My passion for trading physical commodities, specifically oil, stems from the necessity of making decisions based on real-time data and available resources. My interest lies in absorbing market information and adapting to dynamic, complex environments. With a background rooted in finance and supply chain, I’m driven to apply my problem-solving abilities to the world of commodities trading, where I believe my skills and passion will bring value to any organization.
