Summary
Once a top-performing insurance sales representative in Europe, I traded my office attire for a welding hood. Learning MIG and Arc welding, while getting introduced to TIG, has been more than just a career shift, it's something I genuinely enjoy and want to keep improving. Now, with my work visa in Canada, I'm ready to continue building my skills and shaping my future in British Columbia.
