"Coming from a small town, I was drawn to the close-knit feeling I got while touring University of Portland. Being a Catholic university was another important factor for me—it gave me the space to grow in my faith while pursuing my business degree. In my senior year, I had an internship at The Provenance Chain Network as a Supply Chain Associate. It played a major role in preparing me for my current job overseeing the end-to-end order management process and helping ensure each tier of the supply chain is running smoothly. Operations & Technology Management perfectly bridged my interests in business and technology. The classes consistently pushed me to new limits, but the support I received from the OTM professors, combined with the collaborative nature of the classes, allowed me to learn and grow tremendously. And the smaller class sizes allowed me to build strong, meaningful relationships with my professors, something that truly shaped my college experience."
