Contact for incoming recruits to formula team. Developed a knowledge transfer program for Solidworks that ensured recruits gained the knowledge they needed to assist in design if he car and actual CAD modeling. By having recruits interact weekly and by planning jobs for them within the team, retention went up as recruits felt a sense of community and purpose. Previously recruits would attend meetings and have to actively seek work, skill development and mentorship. I provided the recruits with all of these through the program I developed.

Co-lead of steering subsystem for Formula car. Main focus was design of Ackermann brackets, which allow for variable wheel angle ratio which can improve YAW, and traction. The Ackermann bracket was designed to allow for multiple settings: Ackermann, regular, or anti-Ackermann steering; as well as adjustable steering arm. This allowed the car to be tuned for tighter turn courses (Ackermann) vs more gradual turns (anti-Ackermann), as well as driver feel.

Camp Counsellor focusing on Basketball, and monitoring older campers. Over my 2 years I have helped to coach hundreds of campers, developing my leadership and management skills, as well as improving my ability to present. I was assigned majority older boys (within 3 years of my own age), due to my ability to develop mutual respect, while maintaining a healthy and positive environment. I was a member of the Counsellor Council, which was a peer voted committee that offered solutions to problems facing counsellors, that could not be resolved through normal chain of command.
