Industrial engineering senior at Kennesaw State

Senior Industrial Engineering student focused on systems, efficiency, and practical problem solving as I prepare to enter the workforce.

Work samples

A selection of class projects and assignments that show my approach to process analysis, workflow design, and efficiency improvements I've learned recently.

  • Fire Station Location Optimization
    Fire Station Location Optimization

    Formulated an Integer Linear Programming (ILP) model to optimize fire station placement and minimize emergency response times across 100 route-time data points. Evaluated resource and coverage constraints to guarantee 100% demand point coverage while reducing projected average response time by 18%.

  • School District Logistics & Cost Optimization Project
    School District Logistics & Cost Optimization Project

    Built an LP optimization model in Excel Solver & LINGO to minimize municipal busing costs across 6 zones while satisfying capacity and demographic constraints. Performed trade-off and sensitivity analyses across multiple walking-distance policies, identifying operational strategies to reduce logistics expenditures by up to 38%.

Amazon Operational Strategy & People Analytics Externship

Imagine shaping how AMAZON — yes, THE Amazon — welcomes and keeps its workforce. Every year, Amazon loses billions because new hires leave before Day 90. You’re going to fix that. In this externship, you’ll web scrape real-world employee reviews from across the web, extract actionable insights, and design persona-driven strategies to help Learning Ambassadors connect smarter, faster, and more humanely. It’s part research, part strategy—and all about learning how people data drives big decisions.

Data AnalysisPythonStrategyOperations

Overview

The externship combined web scraping and qualitative analysis to study new-hire experiences in Amazon fulfillment operations. The work involved collecting employee reviews, extracting themes and personas, and translating those findings into actionable recommendations for Learning Ambassadors. Deliverables documented patterns in early-tenure attrition and proposed persona-driven engagement tactics.

Amazon Operational Strategy & People Analytics Externship

What I've accomplished

I analyzed employee feedback from fulfillment centers, identified recurring themes in early-tenure experiences, and created persona-driven insights and recommendations for Learning Ambassadors to use in onboarding and coaching.
