Louisiana State University

2021 - 2026

B.S. in Industrial Engineering

I thoroughly believe Industrial Engineering is the best undergraduate degree program. I have learned so much about leadership, groupwork, connecting with people with different backgrounds, and innovation from a major that is supposed to be about numbers and physics (there was plenty of that too). In my daily life, I find myself project managing my goals like an engineer, reducing motion when organizing my room, and even creating miniature time studies to find the fastest route around campus.

Below I have selected some of my favorite and exhaustive coursework I have completed in my time at LSU. You will notice, most of it is groupwork. This came with its own set of challenges. Coordinating meetings, ensuring work is properly done, and communication styles are a handful of the many problems that can arise. Struggling through these challenges helped me in ROTC, when I was managing a team of five individuals, or even in IISE, when mentoring younger IE students.
