      Research Student

      As a summer research student, I worked on a couple projects. The first project dealt with the redesigning and repair of multiple connection cables and junctions that were vital in the operation of the PSR (Pediatric Surgical Robot); an MR-guided robotic system for bone biopsies. As a result, I have developed proficient soldering skills and working with wiring and debugging electrical systems. The second project involved the creation and implementation of a library system intended to improve the usability of coding for a craniofacial surgical robot. Show less

      In addition to my role as a Kitchen Assistant, I have an increased responsibility to manage and fulfill all incoming orders and relay important information to the kitchen. This role also requires me to have a developed awareness of the ongoing demands at the customer-facing front in parallel to the kitchen team's current capacity. As a result, I exercise judgment in situations that require me to offer extra assistance in order to maintain a satisfactory rhythm in order fulfilment.
