Introduction to Me

Hello, I am a 3rd year Operations Management and Cannabis Studies student at the University of Cincinnati. I am originally from Columbus, Ohio and have lived there my whole life up until college. I have taken several business courses through UC like marketing, analytics, and cannabis focused classes. I plan to work in the cannabis industry as its a new and evolving industry that seems challenging but intriguing to work in. With the amount of growth the cannabis industry is going to see in the next 10 years, now is the time to get into the industry.

Acedemic Background

Professional Background

Currently I work for a software company called Spendr that works directly with dispensaries in multiple states to allow the customer to pay a free and easy way while also earning rewards. This job is an internship for a smaller company so my days are never very similar, but these are some of my usual tasks.

Tasks:

Previously I have had many jobs in retail, hospitality, restaurant, landscaping, and marketing. I have gained many skills from having a diverse professional background in many different kinds of fields.

Experience with R and Other Analytical Software

I have not had any experience with R prior to this class. I have heard of it through friends and classmates but I personally had not worked it. I was a little nervous about starting this class because I did here it was difficult but I have enjoyed the challenge.

Other than R, I have not really dealt with much analytical software besides excel and some basic python. I have taken multiple courses over excel and I am currently enrolled in Spreadsheet Analytics.
