I am an Industrial Engineer focused on solving operational problems through
data-driven decision making, Lean manufacturing, and continuous improvement.
Currently, I support General Assembly operations for the Jeep Grand Cherokee.
My work centers on labor analysis, line balancing, workstation redesign, time
studies, and cross-functional process improvement.
I am also pursuing an M.S. in Industrial & Operations Engineering at the
University of Michigan, with interests in manufacturing systems, operations
research, risk analysis, healthcare operations, and process optimization.
