Ariela Kurtzer

My passion is bridging the gap between people, business, and technology. Leading with curiosity, I aim to identify and solve problems with a blend of analytical and innovative thinking. I am a Cincinnati native looking to branch out of the Queen City in analyst, consulting, and project/product management roles.

Academic Background

Professional Background

I currently work part time as a Product Owner Co-Op at Fischer Homes. A project I am proud of is a Power BI dashboard that measures and ranks the priority of requests in our backlog. I enjoyed exploring and refining the data to reveal insights the team could utilize within the scrum process.
I also work as a server/bartender at Wild Ginger in Hyde Park. The restaurant industry has always interested me and I plan on opening my own one day!

Previous co-ops include:

  • AMEND Consulting: Analyst
  • Givaudan: Supply Chain and Customer Care
  • ish Arts Festival: Marketing Intern

Experience with R

My experience with R is limited to the Data Mining course in undergrad. This was my first time coding but learning the strategic and creative ways to make sense of data truly ignited a spark in me. This set me on the path to pursue my MSIS.

Experience with other analytic software

Shameless Plug

I started volunteering with the Stray Animal Adoption Program so if you know anyone looking for a dog I would be happy to help!
