Kristin
Industrial Engineering Hometown:
Colorado Springs, CO

 

Best part of being an Iowa State student: Walking through central campus in the fall and making leaf piles to jump in. I love ISU in the fall!

Work Experience: I spent two summers as an intern for United Parcel Service (UPS). I worked on time studies for their package car drivers to help design delivery routes and performed work measurement on various areas of the hub.

Greek Community: I am a member of Kappa Delta Sorority. Being in the Greek Community has been an excellent way to get involved on campus, gain leadership experience, participate in philanthropies, and build lifelong friendships.

Favorite Class: I have really enjoyed the manufacturing labs I’ve had in my IE classes. I learned to use a lathe, weld, metal cast, using a plastic injection molder, program a CNC machine, and so many other manufacturing techniques.

Dream Job:  To design work places that are efficient and functional for its employees. I love studying ergonomics and work measurement and I hope to combine these interests into a career that will help make jobs easier.

Advice to New Students: Get involved in everything you can. It’s important to leave with a great education, but the best learning experiences are outside the classroom, the possibilities are endless!
