My Journey starts as a student studying at Canada's #1 ranked Mechanical Engineering program. Here I learned the fundamental building blocks to engineering, specializing in Energy and Solids Design, but most importantly
I learned how to learn.
Marrying Engineering with Business
While honing my technical skills in school, I prioritized sharpening my business acumen through work experience.
Graduating to Canadian Tire
With my diploma in hand, I continued directing my
attention down the product path by joining Canadian Tire,
Canada's #6 largest retail conglomerate. As a young team in
a behemoth corporation, the product development team is any
learner's dream sandbox — the need to wear multiple hats is an
understatement in this role. My strong ability to swap between functions
was rewarded with a promotion from lead project engineer on the
automotive team to associate manager; I was the youngest staff to ever be promoted to the associate manager level on the product development team.
As associate manager, I am the program manager for one of Canadian Tire's
strategic pillar brands: PWRPOD, a 20V Li-ion battery platform. Beyond prioritizing
PWRPOD's health, I also entered another arena: people management. I have had 4
engineer interns under my wing, and I have a full-time engineer reporting to me to support the
PWRPOD program.
