Dear To whom it may concern,
I am writing to apply for the Operations Research Summer Intern position at BNSF Railway. I am a senior at the University of Texas at Austin, majoring in Industrial and Systems Engineering with a focus in operations research. I am passionate about using analytical methods to solve real-world problems and am excited to learn more about how to apply these methods in the railroad industry.
I am confident that I can be a valuable asset to the team at BNSF Railway. My academic coursework has given me a strong foundation in optimization, statistics, and probability, and I have gained valuable experience using these methods through my work as a research assistant in the UT Operations Research Laboratory. In addition, I have developed strong programming skills in Python and R, which I believe will be helpful in this role.
I am excited to learn more about how operations research is used in the railroad industry and to apply my skills to real-world problems. I believe that I can be a valuable member of the team at BNSF Railway, and I look forward to contributing to your company’s success.
Sincerely,
Brittney Berberich
