I graduated from chemical engineering from the University of Waterloo with a specialization in energy and environmental systems and processes. Previously, I have worked in various positions such as project management, research and development, and analyst roles, mainly focused on industries within the energy sector. These experiences helped form my interest in process optimization, assessing factors such as risks, costs, environmental impacts and other components within the scope of the work. My background includes looking at water treatment for different industrial waste waters, analyzing cost efficient emission reduction methodologies, as well as hands-on lab experience working with semi-permeable membranes to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in HVAC systems.
