  Working in the cruise industry, I learned very quickly how to survive via the "sink or swim" approach and to be, figuratively, thrown overboard. After earning my Bachelor of Science degree, I was offered a role to manage the supply of a very high end cruise ship where the guests could request anything they wanted. If we did not have it on board, we made it available. My role was to procure all the supplies; food, beverage, hotel supplies, linen, uniforms, etc. to St. Croix, USVI each week. My first week, I called my boss for direction on something. He replied, “I am in Miami, you are in St. Croix, what do you want me to do from here?, figure it out.” I did figure it out and after a year of supporting this vessel, I was promoted to the role of supporting 3 additional vessels based on both coasts of the US, and then globally; Italy, Spain, Greece, Guam, Tahiti and Canada. I have utilized this foundation of resourcefulness, continuing my growth in procurement and supply chain ever since, working with vendors throughout the world. Although my boss initially made me angry, I thank him every day for the valuable lesson he taught me – Figure It Out!! I have created a rewarding career as a forward-thinking Global Supply Chain and Procurement Executive. Those I’ve worked with will tell you that I’ve been particularly effective in navigating the entire supply chain, from initial strategy tied to business mission through sourcing, vendor selection, negotiations, logistics and delivery of most cost-effective supply base. I figured it out!
