Planning, organizing, and carrying out experimentation is a valuable and exciting skill that I was able to develop during my MS at TRU. During my MS thesis, I refined my ability to search through scientific literature and apply established methods to experimentation. Through hard work, determination, and enthusiasm, I was able to complete, defend, and publish my thesis.
Analyzing data is a critical skill that I continue to develop today. Currently enrolled at BCIT under the Applied Data Analytics program, I am able to develop my knowledge of storing information in databases using SQL and apply statistical analysis of data using R programming language. I also have developed an advance knowledge of Microsoft excel, able to create practical and communicative representations of data.
Conveying information to others is an important skill that I have developed during my work with the CRA. Good communication skills were developed through daily interaction, disassembling complex tax information into terms that can be easily understood by the general public. In an academic setting, I presented complex scientific concepts to undergraduate students to increase interest in genetic and molecular studies.
Team collaboration is a crucial skill that I developed during my work with the CRA. I enjoyed the facilitation and mentoring of new hires and cross-training agents with new and useful skills. My empathy and ability to listen to others was extremely valuable to support and react to the needs of others while also tactfully strengthening co-worker relations.
I assisted the general public in understanding tax law and carried out duties that involved enforcement of tax legislation and policy. I would contact and negotiate with stakeholders to help meet the organization’s financial obligations. I would problem solve tax enquiries for general tax information, online services, and government benefits.
I facilitated the study of a project to develop new apple and cherry cultivars. In a lab setting, I carried out measurement procedures to collect valuable data on the fruits of possible new cherry cultivars. In the field, I assisted with general farming tasks, and propagation of both apple and cherry cultivars.
