years of professional experience
Hardworking and detail-focused Civil Engineer with hands-on experience in site design, residential development, and municipal infrastructure projects. I’ve had the opportunity to work closely with clients, city departments, and project teams to help bring designs to life from initial concepts to final plans. I’m comfortable managing tasks, supporting proposals, and guiding projects to stay on time and within budget. Currently in the process of earning my Professional Engineering license, and always eager to learn from more experienced engineers, expand my technical knowledge, and take on new challenges that help me grow both professionally and personally.
