I currently conduct weekly tutorials to over 60 students enrolled in Intermediate Microeconomics (ECON 301)- a course known for its mathematical rigour and economic depth. My current achievements include:

• Using LaTex to present mathematical equations succinctly in slides.
• Working through given questions live in class using my iPad and PDF Expert.
• Explaining tough microeconomic concepts (such as marginal rate of substitution, tangency condition).
• Encouraging students' participation and replying students' emailed questions in less than 24 hours.
• Marking, grading, and invigilating examinations to ensure academic integrity.

Working under Dr. Adeniyi Asiyanbi to retrieve West-African carbon offset programs from 12 carbon registries, I:

• Developed visualizations using DataWrapper and disseminated to supervisor for review
• Ensured compliance with research ethics throughout all stages of the study

While serving as the International Peer for students admitted into the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences, I:

• Honed my project management skills and created a data-rich end-of-year report (46 pages long) using Qualtrics survey, Excel and Canva design.
• Served a role-model and mentor to over 500 international students admitted into the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences.
• Produced and circulated creative content designed using MailMerge and Canva to support international students deciding whether to attend UBC.
• Used CapCut to create and edit informative videos on campus resources; shot, edited, and produced 3 captivating videos for public consumption.
• Collated, sorted, and analyzed over 3000 emails from over 800 admitted international students
