Student Ambassador Fall 2022 - Present
Lead MATLAB Events
MATLAB Onramps
MathWorks offers MATLAB software and self-paced courses free for students. I create educational presentations and plan events for students to learn MATLAB fundamentals. At these events, I answer questions and help students with the onramp tasks. Past events I have run:
- MATLAB Trivia, Fall 2022
- MATLAB Onramp, Winter 2022
- MATLAB Onramp, Fall 2023
Deep Learning Onramp
MathWorks offers Deep Learning and Machine Learning self-paced courses. To create presentations and run these tutorials, I completed the Deep Learning and Machine Learning Certificates from MathWorks. Past events I have run:
- Deep Learning Tutorial, Winter 2024

Marketing
Promotion through Social Media
I design social media promotions to build MATLAB awareness on campus and drive attendance at events. At Western (UWO), I created the Instagram account “uwomatlab” and built the account to over 100 followers. I've grown undergrad followers by involving friends, promoting directly to my CS classses, and develoing cross-posting partnerships with related clubs for CS and Engineering students. For graduate followers, I've partnered with the Graduate Engineering Society, which sent out promotional emails to grad students. On “uwomatlab", I post educational content to teach students about MATLAB capabilities. Additionally, I create graphics to promote events, using photos that I take during events. This helps build interest with students for future events!
