Kingston, Ontario

- Researched the problem of methylmercury being released into waterbodies by hydroelectric dams which is putting populations within the waterbody are risk of methylmercury poisoning- Research showed that algae populations within the hydroelectric dam waterbody accounts for a substantial amount of methylmercury contamination- Idea generated using the critical thinking method with sticky notes and creating a mindmap- Used evaluation matrix to determine which solution was most cost-efficient and effective - Prepared final and interim reports using Microsoft Word regarding the research conducted and proposed potential solutions- Proposed the solution of using Ultrasonic technology to remove algae within waterbodies - Prepared final presentation for stakeholders using Microsoft Powerpoint regarding the final solution

Kingston, Ontario

Client: Cataraqui Cemetary- Cataraqui Cemetery was facing an ongoing concern during the summer of persistent algae growth in their ponds- Working in a team environment, a evaluation matrix was used to determine which brainstormed solution would be most desirable for the client- Developed custom-fitted culvert bags to eliminate the amount of sediment flowing into the pond in an attempt of limiting the amount of essential nutrients entering the pond for algae growth- Research was also done on vegetation strips around the pond and plans were made to implement them in order to further prevent nutrients from entering the pond as runoff- Conducting a final presentation for our solution and the timeline of our plan for the client and the project supervisor using Microsoft Powerpoint slideshow

Sudbury, Ontario

- Cashed out customers and assisted with unloading and uploading groceries effectively and efficiently- Educated customers regarding the benefits of the Walmart Mastercard and assisted with the applications for new Walmart Mastercards- Made sure customer satisfaction was 100% when leaving the register through my verbal and social skills

Kingston, Ontario

- Participated in SHAD summer program in July of 2017 at Queen's University campus- Focused heavily in the streams of science, technology, engineering and mathematics- Introduced to the following problem: "How can Canadians reduce their carbon footprint?"- Our team of six individuals proposed the solution of reusing cooking oils from restaurants to synthesize it into bio-diesel for use in cars, which will eliminate the need for the burning of fossil fuels for the production of gasoline and bio-diesel does not produce the greenhouse gases causing climate change during a combustion reaction- Financial analysis was conducted on this solution along with extensive research and project plan- A pitch was presented by the group for the project supervisors and Queen's University Faculty of Engineering staff members
