I am an Operations Industrial Engineer. As an Operations Industrial Engineer I determine ways to improve operations at my facility.

My guidance counselor and high school teacher told me that I would excel as an engineer. In addition, I did well in math in science at school.

Some tasks that I complete as an Operations Industrial Engineer are work flow analysis, layout changes, process improvements, and create process documents.

I enjoy completing new projects and working with people in different departments. While completing process improvements projects, I have to work with union, maintenance, and other plant support employees.

I am the first woman in my family to obtain an engineering degree. After completing my degrees in engineering, I advised my cousin to pursue a degree in engineering. She graduated from the University of Syracuse with a bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering.

My short term goal is to complete a leadership development program. My long term goal is to complete my PhD.

My mother had/has the greatest influences on my choices.

There are different areas to study in engineering. Learn about each area and find which area suites you best.

I completed my Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in Industrial Engineering at the University of Buffalo.
