Career Story
In high school, I initially thought I would like to be a teacher. But as I worked in different places, I realized that I really enjoyed current world problem solving.
I worked at the Ontario Science Centre while in high school which really boosted my love for all things science, and then started university for engineering. I had many jobs while in university in everything from customer service, technical support, software design, project management, and product creation.
My current role is as a software architect/technical sales engineer
My path may seem fairly straightforward, however I tried many things and learned about what I didn't like and wasn't suited for as well. Halfway through my engineering degree, I actually realized it wasn't for me and switched into a different program: Knowledge Integration
