Testimonial
Anil Ramachandran
Staff Engineering Program Manager - Tesla
"Kathleen worked with a large group of internal and external stakeholders to solve problems and keep projects moving to their next steps. Kathleen also coordinated efforts such as multiple program stage-gate reviews. Kathleen was effective in owning AC Charging program management and tracking actions and progress across a large number of programs. She worked very closely with design engineering and test teams to coordinate design releases, builds, and testing to ensure progress on programs.
Shikan Yue
Production and Mechanical Design Lead - Mysa Smart Thermostats
"Kathleen met and exceeded the performance objectives outlined at the beginning of the term, she integrated seemlessly into all of the different teams at Mysa. Kathleen was able to communicate and collaborate amongst peers of varying backgrounds and technical knowledge, from other students, engineers, project managers, all the way up to the CEO. She
completed large projects and tasks with very minimal supervision. She grasps concepts quickly and intuitly understands what is expected. Kathleen is always looking for ways to contribute and looks for ways to improve existing processes. Kathleen worked efficiently, was super dependable, and will be missed next semester. She played a crucial role in design and management functions across multiple projects and was a great asset to Mysa"
Marshall Conway
Director of Operations at the CA - NL Offshore Petroleum Board
"Kathleen was able to maintain high quality work while adapting to the challenges of working remotely as well as adjusting while in an office setting. Kathleen's work term project and presentation focused on a very technical subject matter. Her ability to understand the fundamental concepts of offshore well abandonment was great. Many engagement sessions with myself and others in the department were conducted whereby Kathleen demonstrated her ability to work collaboratively with others in the department. The presentation slide deck that was produced was excellent and the slide layout was very professional. The content was compiled very effectively with a great balance of words and diagrams. Overall excellent job done on this piece of work."
Ryan Payne
Engineering Technologist at Newfoundland Power
"Kathleen showed excellent interpersonal skills when gathering data for her work term report. Throughout her work term she collaborated with employees and other work term students across all the Company's operating regions to complete her work. She took initiative in contacting various vendors and manufacturers to request details and pricing for equipment that she was proposing. Kathleen's report writing and presentation skills exceed expectations of a work term one student. She conducts herself professionally in her presentations and has excellent tone and speed control. Her report writing is very detailed and well structured, Kathleen has developed an extensive network of contacts both in Newfoundland Power and other outside organizations such as Altomaxx, Graybar, Holophane, and McLoughlan Supplies. These contacts will be valuable in her future work terms and career."

"Kathleen and I have been teammates for 4 years. During this time, I've admired her ability to lead by example, to provide constructive feedback to teammates, and to accept and implement feedback given to her. Kathleen is dedicated and committed, and she has a unique ability to bring out the best in others. She is well-prepared, and is always eager to take on additional responsibility. Kathleen has great attention to detail, and she always plans ahead. Being part of a National-level competitive team while also balancing school, work, and volunteer opportunities is no small feat, and I have watched Kathleen handle them all with grace. She is such an integral part of the operation of our team, and I know the same skill-set she exhibits at practice will serve her in her professional career."
