WATER Lab (University of WATerloo Environmental change Research Lab)

Assistant in aqueous environmental geochemistry laboratory of Dr. Anna Harrison at Queen's University.

In this role, I planned, lead, and supported children through science experiments and activities on Saturday afternoons throughout the school year, working alongside a team of other Queen's science and engineering students.

Worked to develop e-learning curriculum for primary and secondary schools globally, cross checking with required curriculum and supplementing with additional found resources to provide complete lessons for students studying science, specifically chemistry.

With Neighbourhood Camp, I planned, lead and modified daily activities, figured out the logistics of the day, and supervised and engaged with the campers ages 4-12 at Chandler Mowat Community Center. I worked in a team of other leaders, supervisors, and staff, and communicated in large group settings and one on one to children, parents, and coworkers. This job meant a lot to me to be able to help facilitate exciting summers for the children in the Chandler Mowat community, and get to develop connections with both children and other members of the community.

It was so valuable and rewarding to be a staff member at Afternoon Adventures after school program at Chandler Mowat Community Center. In this position, I was able to work with young children ages 4-7, and create engaging activities for them to participate in after school in these key formative years of their life. Throughout my time with Afternoon Adventures, I was able to develop leadership and communication skills, as well as patience, sensitivity, and flexibility.
