My name is Valeria Saavedra, and I am a junior at Iowa State University majoring in Supply Chain Management and International Business with a minor in Marketing originally from Michigan City, Indiana. At Iowa State, I am involved with on-campus activities such as Collegiate Women in Business and Gerdin Leaders Academy. I have four years of administration experience and am ready to learn new skills and further improve my existing ones. Aside from administration experience, I worked in retail and was a lifeguard, which has strengthened skill sets critical to the supply chain field such as risk management, problem-solving, adaptability, analysis, and inventory management. Along with my work skills, I am also a native Spanish speaker and can communicate and write professionally. My passion for education and learning stems from being a determined first-generation Mexican-American student. I am eager to help others and learn from new experiences.
