Background: About Me!

So, a little background about myself to help you see what kind of a candidate I am. I will skip my assortment of student jobs and get to the good stuff.


  • Graduated from the University of Alberta with a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering.
  • Worked for a year and a half for a small consulting company out of Edmonton, Alberta planning and managing outages/turnarounds for thermal generating power generation plants (i.e. coal power plants). I was fortunate enough to be able to help coordinate the team of engineers in a leadership position. This position allowed me to work as a project engineer.
  • Worked for a year and a bit with small consulting company out of Calgary, Alberta doing basic reservoir engineering and regulatory applications. This position allowed me to re-train in the oil and gas industry (a.k.a. petroleum industry or energy industry).
  • Worked for two years with a larger consulting company out of Calgary, Alberta doing economic evaluations of oil and gas properties in Canada. This company has a very well recognized name in the industry and it was awesome to able to join their team.
  • Became a registered professional engineer in the province of Alberta.
  • Decided to apply to Queen's MBA program.
