Summary

I am an extremely competent worker, with an unwavering commitment to safety and professionalism. As a natural leader I greatly enjoy working in team environments. I am reaching completion of my Forestry Apprenticeship with Hydro One. As Forestry staff in my position are projected to be laid off for multiple years due to budget challenges, I would strongly wish to bring my acquired skills and commitment to the lines side of Hydro One, to continue to proudly serve my community as an employee of a company I truly enjoy working for.
