Summary

Currently the technical lead for a 550 km section of the Trans Mountain Expansion Project (TMEP) for clean up and restoration. Previously, I was apart of the TMEP construction engineering team stationed out in the field overseeing the construction of a 200 km section of the pipeline through challenging mountainous terrain. Additionally, I hold an M.Sc. degree in Electric Power Engineering, which I earned in 2019 from Reykjavik University's Sustainable Energy Engineering program, within the Iceland School of Energy. My thesis focused on analyzing the integration of a proposed hydro-power plant into the Icelandic grid, employing steady-state power flow analyses and probabilistic reliability assessments.
