About

I am experienced in various areas of design. As a mechanical engineer, the projects I've worked on include designing components for a one person off road vehicle in the Baja Society of Automotive Engineering (SAE) International Competitions.
In my master's work I collaborated with plastic surgeons to design a surgical guide to support surgeons with planing and preforming breast reconstruction after breast cancer mastectomies.
I have also participated in the 3DExperience ForGoodHackathon, and worked with a team to design and prototype a prosthetic arm for a person with a below the elbow amputation.

Experience

  • Surgical Design Contractor Granville Biomedical Inc. · Freelance Apr 2019 – Present 5 yrs 9 mos St. John's, NL, Canada Working with the Granville Biomedical team I have developed women's health anatomical models for healthcare training. I have also designed educational models of female genitalia mutilation to support a training session in Sierra Leone. I have supported the team in the model fabrication process by designing silicon molds. I continue to incorporate additive manufacturing design regulations in designs.
  • Medical Modeling Technologist Institute for Reconstructive Science in Medicine (iRSM) · Part-time Apr 2019 – Present 5 yrs 9 mos Edmonton, AB, Canada Working at iRSM as a Medical Modeling Technologist I have designed and manufactured cutting guides, drilling guides and transfer templates for jaw reconstruction cases. I am proficient in designing models for 3D printing applications. I am familiar with the various types of additive manufacturing technologies and have preformed machine maintenance to the printers at our facilities.
  • Student Engineer, Engineering Co-Op Student Hebron Living Quarters' Piping Fabrication Department, GJ Cahill · Internship Sep 2015 – Dec 2015 3 mos St. John's, NL, Canada During my work with the Hebron Living Quarters' Piping Fabrication Department I developed engineering drawings and conducted field installation surveys. I tracked material fabrication and installation progress, as well as provided field support to the piping installation team.
  • Junior Model Developer, Engineering Co-Op Student Center for Arctic Resource Development · Internship Jan 2015 – Apr 2015 3 mos St. John's, NL, Canada Working with the Center for Arctic Resource Development I supported the simulations team by developing models to simulate the collision of steel ships with ice structures, as well as analysed data to calculate local pressure design curves using Matlab and other simulation software.
  • Lead Designer, Engineering Co-Op Student Responsive AUV Localization and Mapping · Internship May 2014 – Aug 2014 3 mos St. John's, NL, Canada Working with the Responsive AUV Localization and Mapping team I designed a mount to position an AUV tracking device over the side of a moving vessel. I drafted engineering drawings and oversaw the fabrication process. I collaborated with a multi-disciplinary team for AUV field testing.
  • Junior Lab Technician Virtual Environments for Knowledge Mobilization · Internship May 2012 – Aug 2012 3 mos St. John's, NL, Canada Working with the Virtual Environments for Knowledge Mobilization team I upgraded the simulator's mechanical and electrical systems. I designed a 3D model that accurately represents the simulations workspace, as well as conducted routine tests of the simulator model and lab demonstrations.

Education

  • University of Alberta Msc Thesis, Rehabilitation Medicine , Specialism in Surgical Design and Simulation 2016 – 2019
  • Memorial University of Newfoundland Bachelors of Mechanical Engineering, Co-Op Program 2011 – 2016 Activities and Societies: Memorial Baja Society, Society of Automotive Engineering (SAE), Women in Science and Engineering Undergraduate Society

Other experience

  • Women in Science and Engineering Undergraduate Society, Memorial University As a Executive Committee Secretary Member I managed the planning and financials of the social events. I represented the society in networking events. I took the role of mentoring younger women in science and engineering programs. I organised career events for other undergraduates, and liaison between students and professors.
  • Memorial Baja Student Design Team, Memorial University, Newfoundland The Memorial Baja team's design focus is to create a custom off-road vehicle, and competing in the international Society of Automotive Engineering Series. I joined the team as a junior team member in 2011 - 2013. I supported the team with minor design projects, and focused on the fabrication process of building the off-road vehicle. I took the position of Design Lead in 2013-2014, designed the vehicle's shifting mechanism that integrated into the custom designed gearbox. I then became the team's Co-Captain in 2014-2016 where I oversaw the design, purchasing and fabrication of the vehicle. As well as managed the budgets and applied to government grants to support the team. In 2016 the team qualified for a Design Finalist position in Rochester NY, and placed 5th out of 96 teams in the design category.
