Research & Development Intern
-
sept. 2018 - sept. 2022
In my role as a Research & Development Intern at SIGMA Assessment Systems, I contribute to the development and refinement of SIGMA’s assessment tools in the areas of leadership development, cognitive ability, emotional intelligence, personality, and selection testing. I conduct literature reviews, leverage data, and draw on my subject matter expertise to advise the R&D team about best practices and concerns about scientific or technical aspects of the assessments. I also participate in the translation of multiple assessments, their related reports, and accompanying administrative text to ensure the assessment can be administered in both English and French. I am a continuous learner who seeks opportunities to contribute my informed expertise to the R&D team while also being challenged to think differently.
