International Business and Global Supply Chain
The opportunities that this program and school have provided to me have been astounding. I have continually been amazed by the doors that have been opened to a wide range of opportunities that I never would have dreamed of before coming to school here.
Career plans: My career goal is to get my MBA and JD in order to ultimately end up working in International Supplier Contracting Negotiations. I would like to use my professional and personal skillsets to travel the world, experiencing new people, places and cultures.
Most impactful experience: I have too many great, impactful experiences during my time at USC to count. Highlights include a trip to Germany to study BMW Supply Chain, an internship in operations with Chewy and working in Merchandising Operations for the Masters Golf Tournament at Augusta National Golf Club.
Best part of the Top Scholars program: The opportunities that this program and school have provided to me have been astounding. I have continually been amazed by the doors that have been opened to a wide range of opportunities that I never would have dreamed of before coming to school here.
UofSC Story: UofSC helped me grow by encouraging me to step out of my comfort zone and embrace new experiences. I have new hobbies, a new major and most importantly a great group of friends that UofSC has given me the opportunity to learn from and grow alongside. High-school Will would not recognize or even be able to imagine the person that I have grown up to become during my time here at UofSC and I owe it to the people, places, and programs that have allowed for such great self-exploration opportunities. I am sad to be leaving UofSC but am confident that I am prepared for any challenge the real world can throw at me and excited for the next chapter in my personal and professional careers.
