Hi, I’m Camryn.

I was the sole frontend developer at Smile Train, a global non-profit that provides free cleft lip and palate surgery to children. I built and maintained the UI across their domestic and international sites, abd helped scope a full site rebuild, working with an outside agency on the platform migration.

I designed and built Smile Train's 2022 online annual report and made an internal React app for our staff to help generate and standardize email signatures.

I spent 4 months in the Grace Hopper program at Fullstack Academy in NYC, studying fullstack software development. The program focused on Javascript, Node.js, React, Redux, Express, PostgreSQL, Sequelize, Mocha & Chai, and CSS.

Contributed writing, editing, and research to reports on the mining industry in Malawi and the property rights of widows in Zimbabwe.

I researched climate change and human rights issues in the Arctic for potential HRW report and also helped draft advocacy letters to governments and UN agencies.

I received a Master of Global Affairs from The Munk School at the University of Toronto. For my capstone I worked in a graduate team with the City of Toronto to research alternative financing for low-carbon resilience initiatives.

I also contributed some research on the Montreal Protocol to a G7 compliance report, and took a course on applying qualitative and quantitative methods to conduct research for policy purposes using R and RStudio.

Built a new website and led a digital strategy overhaul — traffic doubled, and Facebook and Twitter followings grew 5x and 8x.

Designed brochures, fact sheets, advocacy materials, and other graphic content with Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator.

I double-majored in History and International Relations at UC Davis. I also studied abroad at the University of Melbourne and did a summer abroad program studying global inequality in Geneva.
