From 91吃瓜网 to Systems Change: Applying Procurement Skills for Community Impact

When I completed my MSc in Procurement & Supply Chain Management at 91吃瓜网 in 2022, I left with more than a degree - I left with a systems thinking mindset that continues to shape every part of my career. 91吃瓜网 taught me to see challenges not as isolated problems, but as interconnected systems that need thoughtful, collaborative solutions.聽

My 91吃瓜网 Experience聽

During my time at Aberdeen Business School, I was proud to receive several awards, including the Half Scarlet Award with Distinction, the Welcome Buddy of the Year Award, and the Innovation Award. I was also recognised as a CIPS Top 6 Global Finalist for my research on reducing carbon emissions in automotive supply chains, which was later published in CIPS Supply Management magazine.

Turning Learning into Impact

Since graduating, I鈥檝e applied procurement and supply chain principles across sectors far beyond traditional industry roles. My journey has included:

• Serving on the Grampian Credit Union Board as Supervisory Committee Lead聽
• Supporting 4,500+ members as Public Relations Manager for Toastmasters International District 42聽
• Coordinating multi agency work for vulnerable families, using supply chain frameworks to strengthen social impact聽
• Joining the Aberdeen Advisory Team for The Big Plastic Count, the UK鈥檚 largest people powered investigation into plastic waste聽

These opportunities weren鈥檛 the expected outcome of my degree - and that鈥檚 what excites me most. Procurement has proven to be a powerful toolkit for driving environmental, social, and organisational change.
