I am a 4<sup>th<\/sup> year Bachelor of Computer Science student who will be graduating from University of British Columbia in December 2022.<\/p>\n<p>Pursuing a career in software development, I am currently employed as a web engineer co-op at Article, and will be working there until December 24<sup>th<\/sup>. My previous internship was working as an iOS mobile developer at Later for 4 months at the beginning of May 2020. Apart from exploring computer science, I completed a Master of Music at Western University and have worked there as a vocal coach, guiding opera singers for 4 years.<\/p>\n<p>After working as a software engineer and musician, I developed strong communication, teamwork, organization and time management skills. During my current internship, I write technical documentation in a detail-oriented manner, frequently proofreading and self-editing the text to make it as clear and informative as possible for the reader. Although I can reliably complete my assigned tasks on time, I am actively working towards improving the speed at which I finish my assignments.<\/p>\n<p>As a student, the more I learn about a subject, the more curious I am about exploring that topic. My favourite part of learning is being able to apply newly acquired knowledge and skills to my everyday life. Taking Technical Writing 301, I look forward to discovering writing techniques that I can use when working as a student or professional engineer.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for considering my application.
