About

I have had the opportunity to experience multiple different fields of work, all of which have different skill sets which have influenced me greatly. - As an intern, I had the opportunity to experience what professional work environments are like and contribute to R&D of a medical device project. I learned the ways biomedical device companies manage document control and enhanced skills relating to CAD, engineering drawings, teamwork, document professionalism and more. - As a musician, I have worked with many different people from students to production companies learning how to manage band environments and perform in front of an audience. - As a teacher, I have engaged with Students and Parents when teaching drums and learned how to tailor lessons for individuals ranging from ages 5-18. Through Ski instructor training I've learned how to evaluate and give effective feedback, especially in a stressful/dangerous environment. - As a Team Leader, I was forced into the deep end of stress and learnt how to maintain composure under extreme pressure to deliver a result through teamwork. I learned the importance of feedback and picked up lots of communication skills first hand.
