Personal statement
As my professional role and responsibilities grew within Siemens Healthineers, I developed an interest in analyzing economic and environmental implications, and understanding impact to various stakeholders. I am also learning about global trade challenges and evaluating possible solutions.
Before I joined the company, I had eight years of experience in several roles in different types of businesses. I have been constantly regarded as a highly effective contributing member and usually nominated to take on team leadership positions. I have strong motivation for success, good work ethics and strong self-learning ability. I am fully committed to making any project that I have taken to be a successful one.
It is my goal to gain relevant knowledge and skills, build my network and become an expert and leader in global trade through committed learning and active participation in the Master of Global Trade program.
With the huge resources provided by the Hinrich Foundation, both in funding my education and its community of experts, I hope to become a more effective ambassador and promoter of global trade.
