I began my career in Oil & Gas on the drilling rigs, which quickly transitioned into land surveying. There I found a deep connection with Alberta's rugged environment, doing my best during the survey process to mitigate the impact on the environment. After a number of years dividing my time between the field and home, I moved into a role at an electronic distribution company, Here, I discovered a newfound passion for machining. My creative and analytical mind was challenged in all the best ways as I was tasked with designing and building overmolds for custom cable designs.My career then brought me back into the field as a Survey & Project Coordinator for pipeline construction, liaising with all departments to bring our projects to life. Seeing the pipeline go from inception to construction was a satisfying and rewarding experience.As Alberta's Oil & Gas industry began to take a downturn, I decided to go back to school and put a diploma behind my decade of experience. Upon graduating, my career took an unexpected turn as an opportunity opened up in the Moving & Relocation Industry. Not only has this given me a glimpse into the inner workings of a new industry, it has allowed me to utilize my customer service experience from years working in the restaurant & bar industry. Supporting clients across North America as they experience what is considered to be the second most stressful event of one's life (moving), and providing them with quality service to alleviate the stress, has been highly rewarding.━━━Decades of work experience across various industries - Oil & Gas, Machining & Operations, and Moving & Relocation (not to mention Restaurant & Bar) - gives me a unique perspective in how operational efficiency and customer service go hand-in-hand.If you'd like to explore how I can support your company's goals, please don't hesitate to send me a direct message.
