About me

I turn complex operational problems into clear, defensible decisions.

An Industrial Engineering student at Penn State focused on process optimization, systems thinking, and data driven problem solving. My foundation spans manufacturing systems, quality engineering, operations research, and applied machine learning, and I care most about seeing how processes, people, and data connect to make operations run better.
