Q: How do you see this experience impacting your future?

A: “I see this experience helping me prepare for life after graduation as well as learning what job I may like.”

Q: What are some of the things you have got to do so far?

A: “I have gotten to take a deeper past the overall purchasing view, such as how much actually comes in and out of the entire company and everything needed to keep the company running. I have also gotten to see all the items in the small parts room as well as the large parts room and figure out how organized everything needs to be with the amount of items each room carries. Along with that, I have been reaching out to companies we do business with to get updated with prices, estimated times that items will arrive, etc.”

Q: What is the most interesting thing you have learned?

A: “I think the most interesting thing that I have learned is the amount of companies we do business with and how much the Purchasing department actually does to help keep the company running.”

Q: What is a goal in life you have?

A: “My goals in life are to make my parents proud, give back to the community, and live a life I dream of.”
