My career roadmap

The Tip of the Iceberg

Over the past 8+ years, I've worked across Transportation & Logistics, IT, Commercial Aviation, and Customer Service, industries that have helped me build not just technical skills, but also leadership and critical thinking. It's never been about how many job titles I've had (there have been quite a few, to be honest), but about the depth and quality of experience each role brought.
Professionally, my experience has been rooted in three core areas: Data Analytics, Supply Chain, and Program & Product Management. Academically, I hold a dual bachelor's degree in Supply Chain Management and Political Science from the University of South Florida (2018) and a master's degree in Supply Chain Management from the University of Texas at Dallas (2020).
Currently, I work in Big Tech, driving continuity of supply for hardware products that enable data center infrastructure in the age of AI. No matter the role or industry, my core focus remains the same: to be customer-focused, high-performing, and intellectually nimble in everything I do. Each experience along the way has shaped how I operate, both in terms of skill and mindset. I hold a high bar for the work I do, whether it's a presentation, a meeting, a deliverable, or simply how I show up for the team.
The roadmap below highlights the major milestones of my career since arriving in the U.S. at 17.

Behind The Scenes

Seeing the end results can be satisfying and even inspiring. But what we usually don't see is everything it took to get there: the rejection, the resilience, and the reality behind the scenes.

We often only see the outcomes: the job titles, the promotions, the shiny logos. Rarely do we ask how someone got there or what they had to overcome. So here's a look behind the curtain: a few of the lesser-known parts of my journey.

Because success isn't linear. It's earned.
16 job titles over the past 12 years: each one a stepping stone, a lesson, and a chance to get sharper.
Leadership at 21: I was asked to lead a team of 25+ people before I could legally rent a car.
Life at Google: 6 managers in 2 years, each one a crash course in adaptability.
Landing a job at Amazon: submitted 117 applications over 3 years, reached 3 final rounds before finally getting the offer.
Education grind: completed a 6-year undergrad program in 4 years, and a 2-year master's program in just 1 year.
Southwest Airlines internship: applied to 30 internship positions over 2 years, interviewed 5 times before hearing "yes."
TMC Transportation internship: cold-called the recruiter and pitched myself directly.
FedEx internship: commuted 160 miles (260 km) daily from Tampa to Orlando for 12 weeks, working 8-hour shifts entirely on foot.
None of these are complaints or bragging points. These are the parts of the journey that shaped my personality. Every obstacle taught me something. Every "no" brought me closer to a "yes." And every mile, phone call, and late night made the wins mean more and feel better.
If my story can inspire someone to keep going, especially when the winds are blowing in the opposite way, then it's all worth it. And when you think you can't do something, remember this quote:

"Borders? I have never seen one. But I have heard they exist in the minds of some people."

Early Career
Advising

Resume Review

Looking to build or polish your resume?

I can help you craft one from scratch using a personalized template, the same one that helped me land offers from top U.S. companies like Google, FedEx, Amazon, Microsoft, Southwest Airlines, American Airlines… shall we go on?
‍
Quick disclaimer: I'm not a certified resume guru, but I bring real, hard-earned experience and practical knowledge to the table. And if you're still unsure, just remember that old saying:
"Nothing beats experience."

Internship Searches

Swamped with classes and not sure where to begin with internship applications?

Or maybe you're feeling that creeping FOMO because your classmates are landing interviews, and you haven't submitted a single application yet?

Whatever stage you're at, I can help calm the chaos and guide you in creating a clear, actionable plan for applying to internships, so you can stay focused, confident, and goal-oriented.
‍
Why trust me?

‍
During my academic journey, I was fortunate to land four full-time internships across different industries.

(Check out my Career Journey if you're curious... I hope you are now!)

Entry-Level Job Searches

About to graduate and feeling lost about what's next?

Ugh… I hear you.

By now, you're probably eager to enter the real world, to put all that knowledge and energy into action and start earning your first real income.

But first things first: you need a job offer, my friend.

‍So, why trust me again?

‍
Before I graduated, both from undergrad and grad school, I had job offers secured at least three months ahead of time.

Pricing

I'm sure this was one of the first questions on your mind. So let me save you some time (and money):

I don't charge for any of my services.

That said, I do ask for one thing in return:

When you see someone in need, and you have the ability to help, please make the effort to do so. Big or small, your act of kindness can make a real difference and mean the whole world to that person (and I trust you will do the right thing when the time comes!).
