Sessional Instructor
-
May 2017 - Aug 2017
I taught Math 150 (Calculus I: with review). Calculus is near and dear to my heart because it is the subject that got me interested in mathematics as a first year university student. It is my pleasure to share this beautiful subject with others and I can only hope they get just as excited about it as I do!

Analytics Intern
-
Sep 2016 - Dec 2016
I worked on the analytics team at Neurio which proved to be a great opportunity to expand my horizons and develop my role as a working mathematician. The team works on a variety of back-end projects, motivated by discussions with the upper management team on what is next for the company. To achieve these goals, I worked with Python, MySQL, and Github. At the beginning of the four months I had only ever coded to achieve some mathematical outcome, so it was exciting to code in this new way.

Majority of my job was to create spreadsheets and visual aids for the collection and representation of data. I frequently contacted (generally through email or by phone) company customers for information involving purchase orders and change orders. I read and interpreted contracts and subcontracts to ensure employees were upholding proper procedures as outlined in the contract agreement.
