Student Ambassador

Oct 2016 - Apr 2019
I work at Info Days and other recuitment events for the Faculty of Information iSchool at the University of Toronto. At these events I help with setting up for the event, checking students into the event, and speaking about my typical day as a grad student as well as my experience as a CRO student. I also help to answer any questions students have as well as assisting faculty with their question and answer section of the day. At the end of these events I will also help to clean up after the prospective students have left. For Meet and Greet events I also help to set up the event, speak on a panel about my time at the iSchool thus far, give tours of the building, and mingle with admitted students to answer any questions they may have.
