Summary

I worked as a Millwright before moving to Australia and setting off down a different career path. Now back in Canada, my goal is to work in a more technical space that will provide me an opportunity to utilise my experience as a millwright while allowing me to learn and grow in a new industry. I am currently working on my Class A, Gas Process Operator qualification with the intention of starting my Fourth Class Power Engineering course when finished.
