Profile
I am an industrial engineering student from Kingsport, TN. In my free time, I enjoy hiking, biking, running, and baking. Growing up around chemicals manufacturing, I had an appreciation for the importance of engineering from an early age. I developed an interest in business, but it wasn't until college that I realized industrial engineering could be the perfect blend of the two.
I have completed three terms as an industrial engineering co-op with Draexlmaier Automotive of America in Duncan, SC. In this role, I supported production through continuous improvement projects, labor optimization, layout planning and modifications, equipment acquisition, and change management. This past summer, I completed an internship with PepsiCo in Plano, TX. I was on the reliability team and worked on manufacturing integration projects related to 3D printing, AI applications, and process efficiency monitoring.
