During my time at WFP, I learned a lot about the industry. My main task was to help the quality control department in every aspect of their job, but I did move around with the maintenance and sales teams. I also worked on my own project of optimizing the carriage, adapting the decision-making to the challenges of Western Red Cedar.

During the winter, I did some snow removal with machines like excavators, loaders, and bobcats. During the summer, my task was to repair everything that was breaking at the lodge, so I did a lot of problem-solving.

Misthuap is a native-run construction company. I was in a small team of three building a goat farm. I learned how to build construction from foundation to finish.

I was working at Rio Tinto Alcan site for this subcontracting company building concrete forms, installing doors and scaffolding. We were building a giant structure to cover a hot metal road from snow during winter. I learned the definition of the word "safety" there.

I grew up on a farm where I needed to work to help my parents since I can remember. That’s why I am not afraid to work hard in every kind of weather. I had to develop skills and knowledge to solve the daily problems of a farmer.
