Brendan Giger

My name is Brendan Giger.

From a young age, I have always been passionate about the sciences. After graduating from high school, I was enrolled in the Animal Biology program at the University of Guelph. Whilst studying at the university, I was taught many skills: practices and methods for productive and safe lab work; how to balance a loaded schedule and deliver satisfactory outcomes within an assigned deadline; an in-depth knowledge of all three branches of science, with a major focus on biological systems of all living organisms; how to record and interpret data, and how to apply it to the current topic of study.

While there are a few examples of skills listed just prior, they are in no way the limit to my capabilities and understanding!

Some hobbies of mine have also taught me invaluable skills in life, such as: I am quite passionate about economics and finances, always following the economy and looking to further evolve my comprehension. Working with automotive and mechanical projects is another avocation of mine; solving issues that may arise and finding ways to, not only fix, but proactively avoid them altogether. Technology, similar to the aforementioned pastime, is a passion that has helped me refine my problem-solving skills, as well as my prowess with general software & hardware.

I also enjoy working on my overall health by exercising with weights and doing cardio.

Striving to work hard, taking pride in what I do, and learning as much as I possibly can are a handful of formulas I utilize to further develop myself, and provide better results. Collaborating well with a team, clear and concise communication, and persistence are a mere few of my strengths. I am always eager to prove myself, and I hope I can do so for you!
