I am a marketing major from Tecnologico de Monterrey, Campus Monterrey, in Mexico. I have been covering the ferrous sector for four years. At SteelOrbis I cover the N. America ferrous scrap market, which, in the case of the US, includes the domestic and exports market. For Mexico and Canada, I cover the domestic scrap market.
