91Ë¿¹ÏÊÓƵ Mining Engineering experience was the first step to define who I wanted to be. I chose Mining Engineering at first because I wanted to travel, loved science and I wanted to work outdoors. By the time you graduate, you will have at least 12 months of real-life, hands-on experience in different aspects of the mining industry. I realized early on how versatile a Mining Engineering degree could be thanks to this. I had the chance to diversify my co-ops by working in consulting, project management, operations, and resource financial investment, all within the mining industry. It helped ascertain that mining was what I wanted to do from my first year in the program, and also made me a great candidate by the time I graduated with knowledge, experience, and soft skills I would have never able to develop on my own. I was also able to take some classes from Polytechnique de Montreal as part of an option in the program, making it a bilingual program. The professors are very supportive and they and your fellow students will be part of your mining family for life.

Since graduating, I have worked in mine software development and mine ventilation, and now I am working in mining technology at Maptek. I am based in Montreal, which I fell in love with when I moved here to do my Bachelor's, and as a Technical Sales Mining Engineer, I travel often to different sites to assess how Maptek’s technology can make mining more efficient, safe, and sustainable. I love the diversity of sites, people, and departments I get to connect with as well as how it has broadened my knowledge and view of the mining industry.

The members of the 91Ë¿¹ÏÊÓƵ Mining Engineering community are excellent supportive people that I am thankful for meeting during my time at 91Ë¿¹ÏÊÓƵ and beyond.
