Describe one skill learned at ASU that you use daily in your job.
Teamwork!
 
Were any ASU-affiliated persons helpful to you in advancing your career?
ASU Career Services was great in setting up on-campus interviews (for me), which helped me build skills in that area.
 
What advice would you give to current students or job-seekers about finding
work in your field?
Make sure you have excellent computer skills (especially Microsoft Excel and Access). They are very useful in the supply chain realm, and you will be surprised how many people lack them!  It is something that can really set you apart!
