My journey with supply chain management started unintentionally. While I recently pivoted from beinf a Supply Chain to a Business Development concentration at Michigan State University (MSU), a university globally recognized for its excellence in the field, my time here has sparked a fascination with how supply chains shape economies and industries. This curiosity was born from both my MBA coursework and personal observations of the gaps that exist, particularly in Africa, and how they hinder the continent’s ability to compete on a global scale.
When I started my MBA, I made a conscious decision to remain open—to let the universe guide me, as opposed to committing to a specific industry. I didn’t have a clear goal or a pre-determined path; I just wanted to immerse myself in learning and let opportunities unfold organically. As I near my summer internship with Xbox, I’ve been asking myself: Why gaming? Why has the universe nudged me into this industry? During my visit to the Microsoft campus in Redmond, my MSFT mentor, Miguel mentioned that gaming generates more revenue than all other entertainment industries combined. This was VERY eye-opening.
Mentorship has been a cornerstone of my growth, both personally and professionally. Sheryl Sandberg’s Lean In: Women, Work, and the Will to Lead contains a chapter titled “Are You My Mentor?” that resonates deeply with my own journey.
