About Developer

I am an undergraduate student at the University of Tennessee majoring in Supply Chain Management.  I'm researching real-time challenges in the workplace to spur research direction and classroom content in demand and supply integration. .  This summer I helped launch the TurboWriter business application and thought I'd share a cool experience.  With a little research and some attention to detail, anyone can do it.  Here's my take on how to write a college essay, because the "Big Orange" vision is to commit to theoretically based, practically applied business research as well as teaching excellence.
