Welcome to my blog!

My name is Paulina Masson, I'm a second year student at Carleton University in Ottawa, Canada.
I grew up in Klaipeda, a major seaport city on the coast of Lithuania, Northern Europe. After high school graduation, I worked as a Logistics Specialist at Siemens Yazaki Lithuania and also at Baltic Logistic Systems. At Siemens, the job I was doing, involved a lot of manual calculations and comparisons of data. I decided to come up with a solution for it - learned Visual Basic in my spare time, and improved MS Access database with custom macros, to perform the work for me. Now the amount of work I used to do in a day, I was able to complete in an hour! My manager was very impressed with the initiative - the company awarded me with a monetary prize, and I was soon promoted.
