I enjoyed all the “philosophical disciplines” (as I would call them), such as continuous improvement and lean inventory management, that were a strong focal point of my undergraduate supply chain education; however, as my undergraduate experience came to close, I was not sure where I fit best within the supply chain practice. As a starting point, I entered PetSmart’s Supply Chain Rotational Analyst Program, and I grew a passion for supply chain analytics. Following six months in the program, I entered the role of the supply chain department’s Data and Reporting Analyst, and it proved to be an incredible opportunity to grow my technical skills within a real-world supply chain context. In this position, I grew an appreciation for equal access to data as a basis for forming holistic, strategic decisions, and I hope to further tackle this data visibility challenge following the SCMr program. Looking forward to engaging with everyone in the cohort and to all the learning to come!

I grew up in Taiwan and spent most of my childhood and teenage summers in Pasadena, CA attending summer schools (yes, I do have Asian parents). Prior to MIT, I studied Economics at National Tsing Hua University in Hsinchu, Taiwan and worked for Hewlett Packard Enterprise as a procurement operations analyst in Taipei, Taiwan. As a huge fan of figure skating, I’m super excited for the 2025 Figure Skating Championships, which will take place in Boston! Outside work, I like to cook, bake cakes, and enjoy theater (including plays and musicals) as an audience and an actress.

Ngan graduated from the National University of Singapore (NUS) with the Bachelor’s Degree in Chemical Engineering in 2018. With the Master’s of Supply Chain Management, Ngan builds on financial and analytical skills to further pursue a career in strategic operational paths.

Hi. I am Tejaswini from India. I have 8 years of work experience, majorly in the E-commerce industry. My interests in supply chain management include supply planning, inventory management, and optimization. I am very passionate about social causes, particularly empowerment of women in the workforce and the importance of education for children. In my free time, I enjoy singing, doodling, and I love walking along the Charles River at MIT. This year, I look forward to connecting with people from diverse backgrounds and learn from their incredible experiences!

Hi there! I recently relocated to Cambridge from Washington, DC, where I spent the last three years as a Consultant in EY’s Supply Chain & Operations practice. My projects focused on vaccine demand planning, business process reengineering, and analytics development for federal and state clients. During my spare time in the area, you’ll likely find me running along the Charles, lost on a trail somewhere in the White Mountains, or in a coffee shop on the hunt for the best cold brew in town. The highlight of this year for me is being able to learn from such brilliant yet humble individuals, and the privilege of calling them my friends.

Hi! I’m from Mumbai, and been living for the past few years in sunny Singapore and the Philippines. So of course, I moved to Cambridge, MA for the weather. I’ve spent a decade working in investment banking, supply chain analytics, brand and product management across P&G and an SE Asian tech startup. I applied to the SCMr program to transition to research, and I’m beginning that journey via the MEng track with a graduate thesis. I’m interested in applying optimization algorithms, metaheuristics and ML to transportation and infrastructural challenges of the future. I like science fiction and literature. Generally you’ll find me riding in the saddle of an oddly tall bicycle on campus, or backpacking halfway across the world with my wife.

I was born in a small city in Colombia and earned my Master’s degree in Industrial Engineering from Universidad de los Andes in Bogotá. My professional journey began at a home improvement retailer, where I discovered my passion for supply chains. For the past four years, I’ve worked with startups to tackle logistics challenges across LATAM. Outside of work, I’m a sports enthusiast who particularly enjoys soccer, running, and racket sports. I’m excited to connect with my peers and fully immerse myself in the SCMr program and the MIT community, making the most of this incredible opportunity.

I have a deep passion for fostering innovation and uniting people to solve complex challenges through end-to-end logistics solutions. I was born and raised in Greensburg, Pennsylvania and earned my bachelor’s degree in Supply Chain Management from the Pennsylvania State University. My experience includes serving as a District Manager for ALDI Inc. and working in planning roles for The Hershey Company, Danone North America, and Horizon Organic Dairy. I am excited to take on my next challenge in solving a logistical problem, and when I envision my career path, my ultimate goal is to make significant impacts on both the field of supply chain and humanity as a whole. Beyond the classroom, I cherish quality time with my fiancé, friends, and family, and I am always eager to embrace new adventures wherever life leads me. Driven by my love for travel, I aspire to collect stamps from every corner of the globe in my passport. I’m a proud dog mom to Boulder, a Cavapoo, and Lilo, a Lhasa Apso

With 7 years of experience in the high-tech, healthcare, and railcar industries at Apple, Johnson & Johnson, and CRRC MA, I have developed expertise in Master Production Scheduling, Global Allocation, Supply Planning, and Operations Improvement. I am passionate about driving excellence in supply chain through innovation, leveraging strong strategic thinking and analytical skills. I’m eager to delve into the transformative potential of AI, including machine learning and deep learning, tailored to SCM at MIT. Outside of work, I enjoy Latin dancing, skiing, and logic & deduction games. Based in the greater Boston area, I’m excited to collaborate with like-minded individuals to brainstorm and innovate.
