мÓÆÂÁùºÏ²Ê¹Ù·½ÍøÕ¾

Being born and raised in Kelowna and as a graduate of the Civil Engineering Technology program at мÓÆÂÁùºÏ²Ê¹Ù·½ÍøÕ¾ College, I relate to the students. I keep current in the industry by working part time as a Professional Engineer so I can bring my current, real life experiences to the classroom. My main areas of expertise are geotechnical (soils), water and trees.

I enjoy helping guide our students through the course materials and helping to prepare them for their careers. Most of my work experience is in structural engineering consulting; however, I also have experience with other areas of civil engineering, and in a research environment, as part of a team. I take professional responsibility for full building structural designs and construction, as well as for components and reports, completed by myself, or under my direct supervision. Being a graduate of OC's Civil Engineering Technology program, I look forward to seeing what our grads will do in their careers.

As a proud graduate of both the Residential Construction (Carpentry) Foundation and Civil Engineering Technology programs at мÓÆÂÁùºÏ²Ê¹Ù·½ÍøÕ¾ College, I am very gracious to share my knowledge and experience to assist students embarking on their careers.  

I began my career journey as Residential Framing Technician (Carpenter Apprentice) involved in constructing and renovating small buildings and houses. After returning to school, I transitioned into a Technologist role, working for private structural engineering firms, in the мÓÆÂÁùºÏ²Ê¹Ù·½ÍøÕ¾ and the Shuswap regions. In these positions, I was involved in structural design, drafting, field reviews and other related responsibilities.

My found passion for applied science drives my commitment to hard work, empathy, and respect for people and our environment. Teaching has deepened this passion, as I strive to inspire my students to embrace and embody these values.

In my ongoing professional and course development, I concentrate on the private industry, exploring new and current applications that enhance my teaching and benefit my students.
