  Living Learning Community Peer Leader

  Peer Leader for the China 2+2 Program, which involved being a mentor for international students from China. Anxiety and loneliness for the students were reduced by organizing weekly events to help adjust them to Canadian culture. In addition, weekly conversation groups were directed to promote confidence in English communication. This resulted in being distinguished by the students, especially for providing outstanding care and conducting weekly one-on-one visits.

  Conducted 28-day nickel and copper toxicity tests on two different clades in the Hyalella azteca cryptic species complex. Water and tissue metal concentrations were measured using Graphite Furnace Atomic Absorption Spectrometry, and then statistically analyzed to determine whether the two clades exhibited differing metal sensitivity when assessing mortality, bioaccumulation, and growth. Concluded that one clade was significantly more tolerant to metal toxicity when assessing mortality and bioaccumulation. Responsibilities included animal culturing, recording weekly juvenile mortality, refreshing media and analyzing water quality, and species delineation by DNA sequencing.

General responsibilities included helping students understand laboratory techniques and pertinent theory that were evaluated in the form of reports and quizzes. Also acted as a mentor and provided support outside of the laboratory sessions throughout the term. As a result of exceptional service and dedication to helping the students, high evaluation scores were received at the end of each term.BME184L was offered for the first time in January 2015. I had the opportunity to be one of two teaching assistants that played a fundamental role in providing feedback to the coordinators as the course involved the collaboration between the faculty of Biology and Engineering. The students were expected to follow Biology department rules and were taught how to properly write a scientific report. Show less
