The objective of the MECH213 Manufacturing Methods course is to achieve a knowledge and understanding of a wide variety of manufacturing processes involving plastics and metals. Lab TA for 3 semesters of the Cutting Lab where each week a new small group (~6) of students were taught about different metal cutting methods/equipment. Taught students with interesting and interactive methods about water jet cutting, plasma cutting (manual and CNC) and oxyacetylene torch cutting. Each lab involved:- A waterjet example where key chains were cut for the students- Teaching how to safely use the oxyacetylene torch and plasma cutter with the students having a chance to do cuts themselves- A CNC plasma cutting example

MECH215 presents techniques and devices for measurements in mechanical systems of solids and fluids. The labs provide hands-on experience with practical measurements of pressure, temperature, strain, position and velocity.Lab TA for two semesters of MECH215 class where each week a new lab was completed that built upon the ideas of the previous labs and lecture material. Arduino micro-controllers were used to create different circuits to measure different mechanical systems. Two TAs were responsible for a group of 30-40 students during lab periods. TAs help guide the students through the lab assisting them with questions about circuit building, hardware and software.

Worked as a research assistant under the supervision of Dr. Randy Ellis. I took over the development of a device used for wrist immobilization during computer assisted wrist surgery. Reviewed the current design of the 3D-printed device and made several design changes before reprinting a new version of the device. Designed and tested an experimental protocol which assessed the feasibility of the device using cadaver specimens and imaging equipment in an operating-room at Kingston General Hospital.

The final two years of work at Cyclepath were spent as a salesperson that managed the inventory for both Cyclepath and Ted's Road and Triathlon stores which involved multiple inventory orders with several different companies each week .Developed interpersonal and communication skills when dealing with a wide variety of customers and coworkers in addition to becoming mechanically inclined and developing all the skills necessary to fully repair a bicycle.Working at Cyclepath was one of the greatest experiences of my life. It was my first job that I will never forget, it gave me so much room to grow with beginning as a simple part-time cleaner and ending as a Salesperson managing the inventory. I have a passion for bicycles and being surrounded by a great group of people, it was a dream to work in such an encouraging space. Started work during High school cleaning the shop twice a week. Over time gained experience and knowledge of bicycle repairs and maintenance and began working longer shifts more often. Migrated to a part time (full time during Summer) mechanic role that required attention to detail in order to achieve the quality of service that was expected from each mechanic.
