Gavin Veinotte

Mechanical Engineering Student

Summary

In my young academic and professional career, I have been celebrated for being outgoing and eager. I am proud to have received valedictorian, 'leader in STEM' and principles award in previous education as well as the highest possible development evaluations and recommendations from previous employers. I attribute my success to my diverse background of employments and hobbies. My professional music and theatre career have taught me confidence and creativity, my athletic career has taught me teamwork and my firefighting career has taught me work ethic. All of these experiences contribute in different ways in influencing my work as a junior engineer. I have completed two co-op terms, and am searching for my third, starting January, 2023.
