I have had the privilege of contributing my expertise to Array Canada Inc. in Toronto, Canada, where I served as an Account Project Manager within the Prestige Beauty Business Unit. During my tenure, I effectively managed a portfolio of 25 large-scale projects concurrently. Leveraging tools such as MS Project, I established standardized project tracking and documentation procedures. Through meticulous project detail recording and strategic corrective actions, I achieved an impressive 10% average improvement in project performance. Effective communication and collaboration with project stakeholders were key facets of my role, facilitating successful outcomes. Additionally, I conducted Root Cause Failure Analysis to mitigate project delivery delays, resulting in an exceptional On Time and In Full (OTIF) rate of 98% for all projects while adhering to prescribed budgets and timelines.

As a Research Assistant in the Department of Materials Engineering at Loughborough University, I actively contributed to pioneering research on solid-state polymer electrolytes for Lithium battery applications. My responsibilities encompassed optimizing compound properties, conducting experiments, and overseeing the maintenance of crucial laboratory equipment. Our collaborative efforts led to a remarkable 3.5-fold increase in ionic conductivity within electrolytes containing 10 wt% lithium ions.

I hold a Master of Engineering (MEng) in Chemical Engineering from the prestigious University of Waterloo in Canada, where I achieved an impressive GPA of 4.00/4.00. This experience deepened my technical knowledge and honed my problem-solving skills.

My educational journey also includes a Bachelor of Engineering (BEng) in Chemical Engineering from Loughborough University in England, where I maintained a perfect GPA of 4.00/4.00. This foundation laid the groundwork for my professional growth.

In addition to my academic and professional achievements, I hold a Business and Entrepreneurship Certification from the University of Waterloo. This certification encompasses Operations and Supply Chain Management, Project Management, and Entrepreneurship and Innovation, further enhancing my skill set and versatility.
