About SCMA

Hello everyone! My name is Caden Opsommer and I am currently the SCMA Vice President. I am a junior in Supply Chain Management with a minor in beverage science and technology from Troy, Michigan.

I joined SCMA when I was a freshman and quickly fell in love with the club. I attended most of the events and was rewarded with being the most involved member in the club. Through the support and guidance of SCMA members & E-Board, I was able to land an internship my freshman year at ZF group and a spot-on next year's E-Board as a career fair director.

Coming into my second year of SCMA as an E-Board only got better, I got closer with many members of the organization and the responsibilities of being on E-Board helped develop me professionally. I was able to plan and execute a successful SCMA career fair while accepting an internship with Procter & Gamble.
I am now in my third year of SCMA as the Vice President. I am so glad and fortunate I have had the ability to help grow and expand the organization that gives so much back to me. I enjoy my role as a VP and wish to spread my supply chain knowledge and business advice to anyone that asks. I love what I do and please reach out anytime to me if you have a question or just want to chat!

Hello everyone! My name is Patrick Estefan and I am a junior pursuing a degree in Supply Chain Management. This is my first year on the SCMA Executive Board and I am honored to hold the role of Career Fair Director. My job is to run a career fair in the winter/early spring, bringing in world class companies and connecting them with Michigan State students.

I found my way to the supply chain major through SCMA. I was encouraged to attend one meeting by my brother (Peter Estefan, President) at the beginning of my freshman year, as I was starting to navigate what my professional interests were. Through SCMA, I was able to network with students, facility, and industry professionals, which ultimately led to me interning at Oliver Healthcare Packaging. During my Sophomore year, I became one of SCMA’s most involved members, and interned at Pratt & Whitney, and experience which was made possible through the connections and skills that I gained through SCMA.

SCMA has given so much to me on a professional and personal level. It has helped to give me focus and learn how to be a career minded student. SCMA has exposed me to a multitude of companies, professional organizations, and peers who push each other to be the best professionals, and people that they can be. Because of these experiences, I am very excited to be apart of the Executive Board, and continue my personal growth, and see other members grow themselves in both personal and professional manners. Come check out SCMA at a General Members Meeting (GMM), or our other events!

Hello everyone! My name is Anita Alkatib and I am a senior pursuing a degree in Supply Chain Management. I joined SCMA as a junior and this is my first year on the SCMA Executive Board as the Career Fair Director. My position as a co-director requires me to plan and run the spring SCMA Supply Chain career fair.

Joining SCMA was the best decision I made, even as a junior. I believe it is never too late to start being involved in any student organization. SCMA has brought me some of my closest friends, it is the best feeling to go into any class or walk into the business school and always run into someone I know through this organization. SCMA has also given me multiple helpful professional development experiences that have aided in helping me land positions within the industry.

Hi, my name is Riley Kiteley, and I am a senior in the Honors College studying Supply Chain Management from Port Huron, MI. I was one of the Career Fair Chairs last year, mainly dealing with the logistics of the career fair. I am thrilled to be one of the Career Fair Directors this year!

My experience in Supply Chain Management consists of 3 summer internships. Last summer I worked for Boston Scientific as a Global Strategic Sourcing Intern at their headquarters in Marlborough, MA. I was placed on the indirect sourcing team with a main focus on mergers & acquisitions and integration practices. Summer of 2023, I interned with Plante Moran as a Cost Segregation Intern in their Grand Rapids, MI office. Lastly, my first internship was in summer 2022 with Commercial Contracting Corporation as a Cost Estimating Intern in Auburn Hills, MI.

SCMA is not only a great way to strengthen and develop your professional skills, but it is also a great way to meet new people. I have met tons of new people through SCMA and even some of my best friends. If you or anyone you know is interested in Supply Chain Management SCMA is a great place to start! I highly recommend attending our GMMs, WISE connection events, and any other social/professional event we have! SCMA is a great club and I am so excited to be a part of this year's Executive Board.

Hi everybody. My name is Logan Sandri and I'm a junior majoring in Supply Chain Management. As the Director of External Relations, I am responsible for SCMA's involvement in the community. I plan the Valentine's Dance, Alumni Tailgate, and another community volunteering event. Alongside this, I do smaller fundraisers like Super Bowl squares, a March Madness bracket, a food drive, and an adopt-a-family.

Last summer, I had a purchasing internship at TI Fluid Systems in Auburn Hills, MI. This was my first internship, and it helped me learn so much about supply chain and the automotive industry. I did a lot of work on resourcing parts to consolidate our suppliers, creating sourcing packages to analyze differences in supplier quotes, and solving invoice issues to keep our suppliers happy.

Last year was my first year at MSU and with SCMA. I transferred from community college after my freshman year. SCMA did wonders for me growing professionally and socially. I am super excited to be on the executive board this year, so I can help our members grow in the same manner I did.

If you have any questions or want to connect, contact me. Go Green!
