Summary

I'm a dedicated and safety-conscious 2nd-year electrician apprentice with a solid foundation in residential electrical systems and hands-on experience gained through both school and fieldwork. I have a strong understanding of the Canadian Electrical Code and apply it daily to ensure all work is safe, compliant, and efficient. I'm confident reading blueprints, running conduit, pulling wire, installing outlets, switches, and fixtures, and assisting with service upgrades and panel terminations.

I take pride in being reliable, punctual, and prepared every day, and I always stay focused on doing quality work. I’ve developed strong troubleshooting skills, ask the right questions, and take feedback seriously. I work well independently when needed, but I’m also a solid team player who communicates clearly and supports the crew. My goal is to keep learning from experienced journeymen, build my hours, and continue progressing toward Red Seal certification. I’m committed to growing in the trade and becoming a well-rounded, skilled electrician.
