Student Research Symposium Program Portal: Submission #166

Bio of all individuals presenting this work I am a graduate student currently pursuing a master’s degree, with a strong interest in research, applied learning, and professional development. My academic work focuses on building practical knowledge through research, critical analysis, and real world application.
Alongside my studies, I am currently interning with Southeast Toyota, where I am gaining hands on experience in a professional corporate environment. This internship has allowed me to connect academic concepts with practical industry experience while developing skills in problem solving, communication, and data driven decision making.
Through my research and professional experiences, I have developed an interest in understanding how research and analysis can support informed decision making and organizational improvement. Presenting at the research symposium provides an opportunity to share my work, engage with feedback, and learn from fellow students and faculty.
My long term goal is to continue developing my research and professional skills and pursue opportunities that combine academic knowledge with meaningful real world impact.
