Hi! I am a 4th year student at the University of Alberta studying Computer Science. Throughout my academic career, I have completed 4 internships at different companies, each focusing on specific technologies and frameworks. Through my experiences, I have expanded my skillset, with an emphasis on data analysis, reporting and compliance, and automation. My passions lie in using technology to find solutions to everyday real world problems. I've done multiple projects through Riipen in the past and have worked with multiple employers, always providing my best work in any project I've taken on. For the FuturePath experience, I am interested in projects focusing on PowerBI/Tableau dashboards, data entry/collection, and scripting in Python. Feel free to check out my work experience, projects, and Linkedin below!

Literature Research
Creating an innovative beverage requires extensive research. I have already paved the way with a great deal of research, but I am looking for some help. I would like to collaborate with students to support literature review by identifying relevant papers and documenting their basic information. Tasks include: Familiarizing themselves with the inclusion / exclusion criteria to determine which studies are relevant. Searching for relevant studies in databases using keywords and documenting the process. Screening the titles and abstracts of papers to determine their relevance to our project. Documenting relevant papers that can be included in our literature review, including information such as authors and date of publication. Reading the full texts of relevant papers and summarizing their results.
