Katie Manzione

I’m a first year Weekend MBA student at Michigan Ross and work remotely as a Data Scientist at Drumline, an analytics consulting firm based in Dallas. Before Ross, I earned my first master’s in Applied and Computational Mathematics and Statistics and competed as an NCAA Division I swimmer at Oregon State University and Colorado State University.

I chose Ross for its strong commitment to action-based learning, especially the opportunity to dive into real business challenges through MAP. The collaborative, supportive community has been one of my favorite parts of the program, and I’ve enjoyed contributing to it as the Director of Social Events for the Weekend MBA program. I’m also a member of Michigan Business Women, where I’ve had the opportunity to connect and engage with other women in business.

I'm originally from Long Island, NY and lived in Portland, OR for about 8 years. Outside of work and class, you’ll usually find me skiing, biking, cooking, or out walking my dog around Ann Arbor!
