Industrial Engineering · Operations Analytics · Management

I am an Industrial Engineering student at the University of Arkansas, concentrating in Operations Analytics and minoring in Management. I am most interested in work that combines field execution with analytical thinking: improving workflows, coordinating people and materials, checking quality, and helping teams finish work safely and on schedule.

My experience spans custom-home construction, service work in Thailand, automotive operations, and crew leadership. Across those settings, I have learned to understand the work firsthand, communicate clearly, and turn a plan into an organized sequence of actions.

What I Bring

Field operations

Experience coordinating subcontractors, directing crews, organizing work sequences, and checking completed work against plans.

Process thinking

A practical approach to flow, quality, handoffs, and rework—shaped by construction, automotive service, and Industrial Engineering coursework.

Analytical tools

Microsoft Excel for organization and modeling, plus coursework and project experience with Java, Vaadin, and Onshape.

Selected Experience

  • Tatum Brown Custom Homes: Coordinated subcontractors and crews of up to 15 on high-value custom homes, built punch lists, and checked completed work against plans.
  • Global Outfitters, Thailand: Planned and directed a 12-person concrete-floor project, including measurements, material estimates, base preparation, and work sequencing.
  • Discount Tire: Coordinated vehicle staging and workflow across four service bays during busy periods.
  • Southern Landscaping: Advanced from laborer to crew lead, assigning work, training teammates, and checking quality on fencing and site projects.

Current Direction

I am pursuing Summer 2027 opportunities in Northwest Arkansas where I can contribute to operations engineering, continuous improvement, manufacturing, construction or field engineering, supply chain, quality, logistics, or project execution. I am especially drawn to roles that combine time in the field with process analysis and coordination.
