5I strongly and passionately identify as a global citizen who is affected by everything that happens around the globe. Consequently, I am constantly searching for a network of thinkers who share my passion and who are willing to brainstorm, coalesce and trade ideas with me on how to solve social issues.
Freda is an active participant of the Supply Chain Management Association (SCMA) at ASU and recently made it as a finalist in the SCMA Annual Case Competition.
