To me, nothing is more rewarding than helping people and learning new skills. Throughout both my undergraduate and master's degrees, as well as during my time in industry, I continually gravitated towards roles where I could challenge myself and directly effect positive change for others.I pursued my undergraduate degree in engineering chemistry and my master's degree in chemistry because, like everyone else, I have directly benefited from the wide range of chemicals that society has harnessed. I knew that this field would provide me with the opportunity to learn and create the change I was looking for. I want to use the knowledge and problem-solving skills I have developed in academia and industry to support businesses and projects that are solving problems and improving our day-to-day lives.Graduating at the top of my cohort in engineering chemistry, with 14 months of professional industry experience and a master's in science, I have a wide range of experience in lab, pilot, and industrial-scale chemical processes. My master’s focused on developing a new reusable platform for the rapid and simple detection of chemicals in the field, and my industry experience involved overseeing aspects of the research and development testing facilities at the Kingston INVISTA site.I also balanced some professional acting on the side while completing my degree, which has helped me develop excellent communication and public speaking skills—an asset in a field where effective communication can be the difference between a successful project and a failed one.My unique range of experiences has also equipped me with soft skills such as:TeamworkProject ManagementOrganizationProblem-solvingFlexibility/AdaptabilityIf you are looking for someone eager to learn, grow, and exceed expectations, feel free to message me – I’d love to chat.
