In April 2018, I defended my PhD thesis in Management Sciences at the University of Waterloo, under the supervision of Dr. James Bookbinder. My doctoral thesis focused on lot-sizing heuristics for multiple product families. My other research interests include using business analytics to support decisions in supply chain network design, transportation, inventory management, and production planning.
Since 2014, I have had the opportunity to teach undergraduate and graduate courses at UW and Wilfrid Laurier University, such as Business Decision Models, Introduction to Optimization, Production and Service Operations Management, and Advanced Optimization Techniques. Before this, I was a teaching assistant for numerous courses in the Department of Management Sciences, and was awarded the Sandford Fleming Teaching Assistantship Award in 2011. In 2016, I was a recipient of the Amit and Meena Chakma Award for Exceptional Teaching by a Student.
Before completing my MASc in Management Sciences at the University of Waterloo, I earned my BASc in Industrial and Manufacturing Systems Engineering from the University of Windsor. I worked at Chrysler and Syncreon, gaining industrial engineering experience in line balancing, work-station design layouts, and continuous improvement. I am a student member of the Canadian Operational Research Society (CORS) and Institute for Operations Research and Management Sciences (INFORMS), and I am an Engineering Intern (EIT) with the Professional Engineers of Ontario (PEO).
When I'm not working, you'll find me and my husband playing hide-and-seek with our kids. I enjoy Killer Sudoku puzzles, cooking, yarn crafts, and running.
