Thomas Fleming

Thomas Fleming is currently a junior at The University of Tennessee at Knoxville, pursuing a Bachelors of Science degree with a double-major in Economics and Biochemistry. Fleming has been involved in several organizations on campus, including leadership positions in UT College Republicans and Project Veggie. In addition to his campus involvement, Fleming is active in the Knoxville community, volunteering in local elementary schools through Clinic Vols in order to serve children in underprivileged neighborhoods.

Recently, Fleming interned for Gary Loe on his campaign for state representative. Through this internship, Fleming learned how to work in a fast-paced and highly volatile environment, where every movement on the campaign offered an opportunity to succeed greatly. Additionally, efficient management of Fleming’s time was critical to balancing the work load of the campaign with his studies and extracurricular activities.

Fleming's passion for efficiency does not stop at his schoolwork, he plans to attend graduate school for Economics and pursue a career as an economist in the healthcare industry. His microeconomic interests are in cost optimization of healthcare costs associated with the treatment of patients and the training of physicians.
