Consumer Product Passion
Love for the Product Industry
This passion led me to happily spend my time, energy, and effort to pursue academic success and professional knowledge at the University of Oregon's Master Program in Sports Product Management.
With my previous product creation and merchandising experience, I was able to learn and advance my product knowledge accessing industry resources and techniques to become a skilled and multi-disciplinary thinker. I understand more about the competition of brands and their ever-evolving challenge to stand out amongst the industry field.
Product Creation Center Experience
I spent a summer working in Vietnam, a top three producer of footwear in the world, to learn the ins-and-outs of the factory side business. I truly understand and deeply respect the numerous people it takes to develop and manufacture quality footwear.
University of Oregon Sports Masters Program Class of 2020
Graduated from this one-of-a-kind and world-class education. I developed valuable real-life skillsets in a complete end-to-end product creation experience and nurture relationships within the tightknit sports product industry network.
International Work Experience
With my previous experience and my recent education at the University of Oregon Sports Product Management program, I became a global learner. I have traveled to tradeshows and factories all over Asia, Europe, and North America.
