About

I am a senior at Kansas State University pursuing a bachelor’s in Industrial Engineering and minoring in Statistics and Business. Currently, I am working as an Implementation Consultant Intern for PROS where I get to work directly with customers to help them personalize our dynamic pricing software. During my time at Kansas State, I was involved in a mentoring program for struggling engineering students and a teacher’s assistant for a time management class. I also was able to learn technical skills in using large databases and text mining software during a research grant I was given. This research was for the Beef Cattle Institute in which I was focused on the sustainability for the beef industry. I will be graduating in May of 2019 and hoping to continue learning new information on how to make systems more efficient throughout my professional career.
