Experience
Project Manager
As a Project Manager, I led a team of 4 members in building a custom chatbot for the CUCAI conference. My responsibilities included developing statements of work, creating a project timeline, and preparing contingency plans. Effective communication and teamwork were crucial as I coordinated tasks among team members, leveraging their individual strengths. Additionally, I completed an Introduction to Machine Learning Fundamentals course and actively contributed to data curation, parsing, and model creation using Python.
Design Team Member
As an Innovation Design Team Member, I utilized SKLearn to tokenize files, build, train, and implement Naive Bayes and Transformer models. Additionally, I developed Python programs to parse a dataset of over 250,000 code files, which were crucial for model training. My debugging skills were put to the test as I addressed issues related to data fitting, model performance, and supervised training. Throughout this role, I leveraged strategies such as modular functions, collaborative efforts, and thorough documentation reading to ensure project success.
Photographer/Graphic Designer/Web Developer
Created digital marketing material, websites, headshots for staff, social media accounts and followings for various companies. Worked with many industries from industrial construction to a handmade soap company to album covers for musicians. Between my collective clients, I was able to increase web traffic by more than 10% on average. Examples of my work are available upon request.
Office Administrator & Customer Service
As part of my role, I processed insurance details and payments, maintained daily bookkeeping records, and efficiently scheduled patients. Additionally, I contributed to office workflow improvements through computer automation and the development of new organizational systems.

Template Maker
In the summer of 2022, I was a teacher of grade 11 physics. When teaching this class, my students wanted worksheets faster than I could make them. I decided to automate that process using Python. I created a scipt which can take a word problem and generate variations of the problem which alter the numbers in the question. It then compiles all the answers into a key and prints it on the back of the document. This project leveraged LaTeX to compile the documents and saved me countless hours of copying and pasting the same question and recalculating the new answers by hand.

Interests
When not working, I enjoy hiking, photography, listening to music and seeing my friends. I want to travel the world with my camera and explore what life is like in different parts of the world. I am currently working on a collection of my travel photos that I can use as a time capsule of all my travels. I am always down for a good cup of tea and to watch a comedy.
