Bio
Hi! My name is Garrett, and I’m passionate about pursuing a career in Logistics or Data Analytics. I’ve always been fascinated by how goods move from point A to point B and how both fields rely on analysis and optimization to remain efficient.
I’m also deeply curious about how things work and enjoy problem-solving. I see mistakes as opportunities to learn, and the satisfaction of overcoming challenges after putting in the effort is incredibly rewarding. This mindset pushes me to never back down and exhaust all possibilities when solving complex problems.
Growing up, I struggled with a learning disability in math, which made me feel behind my peers. But through hard work, persistence, and seeking help, I was able to improve. Now, I enjoy math and take pride in how far I’ve come.
Starting college two years after high school was intimidating, but it has been one of the best decisions I’ve made. I’ve met incredible people and joined my school’s clubs, and I look forward to getting even more involved as I continue to grow both personally and professionally.
