Featured experience
Learning how a fast-moving operation works.
Apr 2026 – Sep 2026
Supply Chain Intern
Coulson Aviation Canada
Supported multiple departments while completing a directed study through Vancouver Island University. The experience showed me how coordination, organization, and attention to detail connect across a real operating environment.
01
Purchasing
Exposure to how purchasing decisions, priorities and supplier coordination support the wider operation.
02
Receiving & Inventory
Hands-on understanding of the flow, organization and accuracy required to keep materials moving.
03
Shipping & Logistics
Learned how timing, communication and follow-through matter when multiple teams depend on the same movement of parts and information.
How I work
Listen first. Learn fast. Follow through.
I’m a business student from British Columbia who has learned in classrooms, shops, customer-facing roles, team environments and a working supply chain operation. I value being dependable, coachable and willing to step in where the team needs help.
I completed an Associate Degree of Business Administration in Management at the University of Montevallo and am now finishing my Bachelor of Business Administration in Management at Vancouver Island University.
Listen
Understand the job.
Ask good questions, pay attention to how the team works, and learn the system before trying to improve it.
Learn
Get better quickly.
Take feedback seriously, learn new systems and training, and keep building useful skills.
Contribute
Be someone the team can rely on.
Communicate clearly, own the details, and do the work that helps the whole operation move forward.
Work history
A practical foundation.
Before Coulson, I worked in service, retail and hands-on environments where showing up, staying organized and working well with people mattered every day.

Beyond work
Built in team environments.
Leadership wasn’t something I first learned in a classroom.
Years of lacrosse and hockey taught me how to communicate under pressure, take responsibility for a role, respond to coaching and contribute to a group. Coaching and refereeing added a different perspective: helping others improve while keeping standards clear and fair.
