• RESEARCH ASSISTANT, UNIVERSITY OF GUELPH, 09/01/21, 12/31/21, Responsible for finding research articles for the PhD students I was assisting in the semester I worked for them. I searched for relevant peer reviewed articles that would assist the PhD students in advancing their research. I made a google docs page that I shared with them, and I would update it with new articles every week.
• RESEARCH ASSISTANT, UNIVERSITY OF GUELPH, 03/01/22, Will be assisting the same PhD students this semester on a different research project. My responsibilities will be the same as my previous position as a research assistant.
