Operations and Supply Chain Management

"Receiving this scholarship has made a meaningful difference in my journey as a Business Management student with a focus in Operations and Supply Chain Management. Financially, it has lifted a significant burden, allowing me to dedicate more time and energy to my studies rather than balancing excessive work hours. Beyond the practical relief, it also serves as a powerful affirmation of the hard work and commitment I have invested in my education — and that recognition motivates me to keep pushing forward.

Looking ahead, I am passionate about building a career in logistics and supply chain management, with aspirations to work for a major organization operating on a global scale. The rapidly evolving nature of international trade and global supply chains excites me, and I am eager to contribute to that field in a meaningful way.

" 

After graduation, Arnaldo plans to keep growing in operations and supply chain management — working my way into leadership roles where he can actually make a difference in how organizations run. He wants to be in a position where he is solving real problems: improving processes, building stronger teams, and helping companies build systems that hold up over time.

What excites him most is the chance to bring together the hands-on experience I've built in industry with the strategic thinking I've developed through my degree. He doesn't want to just manage — he wants to lead with purpose and help organizations operate at their best.

Long term, he has a bigger vision. He wants to use what he has learned to bridge supply chain and industrial opportunities between the United States and Angola — the country he is from and the place he hopes to help build. For him, this isn't just a business goal; it's personal. He wants to create something that genuinely contributes to the development of his country and creates opportunities for his people.
