I hold a BA degree in Psychology with a minor in Business Management from Thompson Rivers University. I have recently moved to the UK to gain experience working abroad. In university, I fell in love with psychology and business, two areas that I found to fit together very well. People are at the heart of every business. In my free time, I enjoy creating art, writing, and reading. Surf board shaping, fine art, and van conversion are some of the recent projects I have done.During my early days in university, I worked with a popular painting franchise. This gave me the skills to branch out and run my own painting contracting company, which eventually allowed me to hire some employees. After graduation, I went to Australia, donating 80% of my belongings, then travelled in Asia for seven months with a 35-liter backpack. This allowed me to come closer to understanding different cultures and perspectives, problem solving under pressure, and communicating with a diverse range of people. During COVID, I continued my painting company and then had the opportunity to do vocational training in sheet metal and metal fabrication to explore different industries and step out of my comfort zone.In 2023, I made the move to Sheffield, UK. After a brief visit in 2021, I was inspired by the historic steel industry, in both craft and industrial applications. I am now situated in a position to advance my career that best suits my strengths in leadership, communication, problem solving, helping others, and building relationships.
