Experience
I am an Industrial Systems Engineer with hands-on experience delivering operational improvements and technology solutions in the utilities and higher education sectors.
During my co-op terms at SaskPower, I supported major grid optimization and transmission line projects. I streamlined control room processes, enhanced compliance with project methodologies, and developed training resources to improve team performance and knowledge transfer.
At the University of Regina, I contributed to facilities management initiatives by planning and implementing digital tools to modernize workflows, improve safety documentation, and support process improvements across campus operations.
