International Economics Undergraduate
During my co-op at BC Hydro, I navigated a diverse team with a significant age gap. This experience offered me invaluable lessons in communication, adaptability, and the importance of understanding different workplace dynamics. It has profoundly shaped my long-term career goals, emphasizing the value of empathy and flexibility in professional environments.
Through my participation in the course "COEC 475: The Economics and Policy of the Environment, Energy, and Natural Resources," I gained a profound understanding of the intricate relationship between economics and sustainability. The course broadened my knowledge of environmental challenges and equipped me with the tools to analyze and propose effective policy solutions. I explored the potential of agricultural methane technology and biogas production as a viable and sustainable energy source.
During my work term as a Business Analyst on the Global Licensing & Royalty Management (GL&RM) team, I was exposed to a new area of work that I had never encountered before. As an International Economics major, I had not previously studied licensing, but I was excited to learn and develop new skills.
As a Chapman Learning Commons Project Assistant, my daily tasks involve cultivating a supportive learning environment for students, faculty, staff, and community members. This includes serving as the first point of contact for patrons, referring them to resources within the CLC and across UBC, and providing technology and equipment support. I also assist with the daily operations of the Learning Centre, foster a friendly and interdisciplinary learning environment, and engage in resources.
