Previously I was a Senior Program Manager at Amazon, where my focus was supporting last-mile payment programs and technology optimization. Prior to that, I was a Consultant with Deloitte Consulting, where I specialized in supply chain and operations and business analytics. My project expertise spans various areas including last-mile payments, digital supply networks, product development, manufacturing, and logistics and distribution.

At the time of writing, I’ve been to 43 out of 50 US States.

Strategic Management, Management Consulting, and Business Ethics.

I think MANGT 595 (Strategic Management) is an excellent course due to its broad applicability to students about to enter the workforce. Regardless of your major or the industry you enter, everyone will be challenged in their careers to think strategically.

Applied (I aim to include practical learnings and ideas students can use as they start their careers), Multimodal (I believe that everyone learns in different ways, my courses are a blend of lectures, activities, slides, and cases), Gamification (Friendly competition and situational role-playing).

In my opinion, the goal of every college course should be to give students practical experiences or learnings that can help them in their careers. While you certainly are not going to remember every detail of your courses, success is being able to leverage ideas, techniques, or frameworks as practical problem-solving tools when the situation requires it in your career.

Experience is the currency that will drive your career. Focus as much as you can on identifying opportunities like internships, practicums, or leadership experience that will give you practical work experience in the field that you want to enter.
