I joined the Canadian Armed Forces in February 2020 as a Signal Operator in the army reserve. Currently, I am responsible for the operation of various communications equipment which requires great attention to detail and problem solving skills. This experience has provided me with other skill sets that are beneficial in any work place, such as the ability to work with others under pressure while meeting strict deadlines.
