SUMMARY:
Hard-working, quick-learning, biomedical and electrical engineering student at Carleton University with experience in engineering environments. I have strong oral and written communication skills, and work well both individually and as a member of a team. I possess natural leadership qualities. I have worked in laboratories in which I was responsible for programming an Arduino microcontroller for integration with a bio-robotics platform, as well as doing forward inverse modeling with neural networks for the tracking of weakly electric fish.  Strong communication skills, spoken and  Electronic circuit documentation skills ENGINEERING WORK EXPERIENCE:
