What was your first position/job in the A/E/C Industry? I started as an Assistant Project Manager at JK Scanlan working in their Healthcare Construction Department.

Why the A/E/C Industry? I always enjoyed the industry, and thought growing up that I would become an architect, but through the co-op process at Wentworth I found that the general contractors side of the industry was the best combination of everything I enjoyed. 

Advice/Keys to Success: Never stop asking questions! The only way any of us will get better at anything in life is to keep learning, and I want to always be improving! 

If you had to choose one word to explain why you do what you do, which one most suits you? And why? Evolving: The construction industry is always evolving and coming up with more efficient, higher tech, more detailed ways of looking at the work we do. I find it fascinating to learn all these new techniques and hope to continue to evolve myself as I continue to grow in this industry.
