Areeb Noor Experience

As a data analyst I work on projects that gather and provide data/information on potential prospects for fundraising for TMU. I spent Summer 2023 working as a full-time employee and am now continuing this role as a part-time employee for the remainder of the school year; until end of April 2024.

A.S.T.A.R.O.S. Aerospace was another aerospace team but with the goal of launching an atmospheric weather balloon with a biological experiment on board to study the effects of high altitudes, pressure changes, and change of gravity on living micro organisms. As the head of business development I secured pledges for funding from major actors in the aerospace community, created clear management & team structure, setup communication channels with custom domain emails for members, oversaw marketing and advertising, interviewed and onboarded new members, delegated tasks and asignments, constructed project plans, conducted regular meetings to keep the team on track, and more.

Metropolitan Aerospace & Combustion Hub (MACH) is a Toronto Metropolitan University school team with the goal of designing, prototyping, and building a rocket fueld by ethanol and nitrogen. I had the pleasure of working on the web dev team to help create and maintain the team website. There I learned some neat tips and tricks and was first introduced to GitHub.

Over the summer I decided to be proactive and take initiative by taking a summer course on intro to programming which gave me an advantage over my peers. Since the first class of my programing course, students were struggling to undserstand the material and concepts and so I offered tutoring to any and all who needed it.
I ended up tutoring 75+ students from 2/2 classes of the semester accross 2 different professors.

Working at Best Buy as a seasonal employee gave me the opportunity to learn more about the tech I use in my everyday life. As a computing solutions advisor it was my job to give customers insightful and accurate advise regarding their computing issues.

At Lowes Canada I worked as a loader to assist customers with the not so fun part of projects; the heavy lifting. Although my position as a loader did not teach me any technical skills, it did allow me to polish and maintain my comunication skills.

As a sales associate at Home Depot I was able to really improve on my communication, team work, and punctuation skills. At Home depot I learned how to work in a dynamic environment with different challenges and to creatively solve problems which helped boost my social skills and confidence.

Working at a fast food chain I learned how to work in a fast paced environment under extreme pressure. As a general worker my duties included anything and everything from restock to food prep to cooking and cleaning. At Mucho Burrito I learned how to be quick on my feet to come up with solutions to various problems.

At Manheim Toronto I worked as a sales day driver. As someone who loves cars it really was a dream job. As my first ever job it taught me responsibility and accountability and was the starting point of my journey.
