Part of my honors college requirements included a semester-long, data intensive project to help determine factors that influence carriers’ tender acceptance rates. As a student, I also completed a thesis project where I worked with a large company to forecast future customer demands and design their distribution network to efficiently meet these demands.I have gained internship experience from Clark Associates within their procurement department.
