In my master I worked on chemical treatments of paper fibers and used spectral analysis (FTIR, XRD, and SEM) to examine the treated cellulose fibers, and using Excel and SPSS to analyze the resulting data.

As a Lab Supervisor at Skookumchuck Pulp Mill, I manage a team of 6 lab technicians responsible for analyzing various raw materials, intermediate products, and finished products. My key responsibilities and achievements include:
Laboratory Operations: I oversee the daily operations of the laboratory, ensuring compliance with safety regulations and quality control standards. This includes managing the preparation of samples, conducting various tests using different laboratory equipment, and analyzing the results.
Data Analysis: I lead the data analysis efforts of the laboratory, including statistical analysis, report writing, and data visualization. I collaborate with the production team to identify trends and anomalies, and I work with them to develop corrective and preventive actions to improve product quality.
Quality Control: I implement and maintain quality control protocols to ensure that our products meet industry standards. I conduct regular quality assurance audits, review testing procedures, and implement corrective actions to address any deviations.
Continuous Improvement: I lead process improvement projects to optimize laboratory operations, reduce costs, and improve product quality.
Collaboration: I collaborate with other departments and stakeholders, including the production team, quality assurance team, and customer service team. I provide technical support, communicate testing results, and work together to address any product quality issues.
Overall, my experience as a lab supervisor in the pulp mill industry has honed my technical, analytical, and leadership skills. I am confident in my ability to lead a team, manage laboratory operations, and drive continuous improvement initiatives that improve product quality and increase efficiency.

During my time as a data analytics student, I actively engaged in courses focused on SQL, Excel, and Python. These courses provided me with a solid understanding of data analysis and visualization techniques. Equipped with this knowledge, I am enthusiastic about utilizing my skills to address practical business challenges and make informed, data-driven decisions. I am eager to explore the vast potential of data in driving positive outcomes and generating valuable insights.
