Introduction to Me

Hello! I am a fourth year student at the University of Cincinnati. I am from Northern Kentucky, about 35 minutes south of Downtown Cincinnati. I am someone who loves sports, which is the main reason I got into analytics. In my future, I want to work with sports analytics in either the NFL, MLB or NBA, within a franchise. Working in the sports industry is my dream job, and majoring in analytics gave me a great opportunity to fulfill my dreams.

Acadmeic Background

Professional Background

Over my years at the University of Cincinnati, I have gotten the opportunity to work at three different companies for Co-ops. My first one was with RWI Logistics in Fort Thomas, Kentucky as a Business Analyst. I worked with multiple different software, but mostly DOMO. My second co-op was with Kimberly-Clark Corp. in Neenah, Wisconsin. I worked as a Supply Chain Analyst. I worked with multiple different platforms/software and learned a tremendous amount about the business world while I was in Wisconsin. My last and most recent co-op was with Kroger - 84.51. At 84.51 I was a FinOps Engineer co-op which just became a team. The goal of our team was to cut costs in the cloud in any way possible, so the company could use it in other areas or more importantly save money.

Experience with R

I have previous experience with R in my previous Business Analytics classes, but it was mainly the beginner concepts with equations. I enjoy R, but still have not been able to use it in a business situation. I don’t know much about what R can do for you in the industry, but as I go through this Data Mining course I believe I will be able to use it in the everyday world.

Experience with other software

At Kimberly-Clark, I had the privilege of working in SAP, which was where all the contracts and data was store for both KC and our suppliers. Where I really started to use multiple analytics software was at 84.51. My day-to-day work was with both SQL and Python. I also was hired as part of the ICT program which is the Infrastructure and Cloud Technology program. As part of that I worked as a Platform Reporting Engineer, which was writing code and then converting it as a report in Power BI.
