I am currently employed as a junior mechanical designer at AME Group’s Edmonton office. My work primarily involves (or will involve) mechanical consulting services in aquatic, critical infrastructure, datacenters, mixed-use residential, and commercial projects. As an EIT, I also assist my colleagues in the Edmonton office and within other offices with their tasks in an effort to learn as much as I possibly can about mechanical consulting.

I was hired on as a cashier, but I also perform some COVID-specific cleaning tasks, such as continuously cleaning high-touch surfaces within the store or making sure that there are a limited number of people within the store at a time.
