Supply Chain Management

I enjoy going to UHV events with students, such as the International Festival. It is great fun to join the international students in preparing food, getting dressed in traditional dresses and seeing their cultures. It is difficult to be far away from my home country. I might be able to help international students if they’re missing home. I'm willing to be here when they need me.
