Translator and Interpreter (Current Employee) – Toronto, ON – 7 December 2018
So far I enjoy working at this department. As I get to work with different dialects and people through transcriptions/translations.
I get to meet a lot of new students from around the world by working with them online when they send me links to work on.

Universal Design for Learning Strategist (Former Employee) – Impact Centre: University of Toronto – 29 October 2018
Grateful for the opportunity. Looking forward to more time to consult and offer my services.
Hardest part: sexual harassment culture.
The work environment is comprised of a multiplicity of aspects. I'd like to support workplaces and educational environments with sexual harassment best practices and other best practices. There was an incident that occurred this past summer where I had to stop working completely, and my contract ended as a consultant. This was during my caregiving to my mother who has a brain tumour. This was not handled well. There is work to be done.

The University of Toronto Mississauga has provided me with numerous fantastic opportunities that have shaped me as a person. I have met countless amazing people along the way as well.
Productive, passionate, and innovative laboratory with excellent team cohesion!
Undergraduate Research Assistant (Former Employee) – Toronto, ON – 12 September 2018
Typical day at work started at 9am and ended at 5pm at minimum. The laboratory culture is outstanding, with older, more experienced researchers who are willing to share what they know with younger passionate researchers. The laboratory is managed by post-docs and their head professor, who are all welcoming to new researchers. In my time, I had extensive practice with coding in C++ and Python, along with ROS for controlling mobile-robotic autonomous systems. The workplace culture motivates you to be productive.
Pros
Knowledge gain
Cons
Long Hours
