Prior to joining BMO Capital Markets as an Institutional Equity Sales Associate, my experience has predominantly been in energy. After graduating from the University of Calgary with a degree in Petroleum Engineering, I worked with leading energy companies such as Husky Energy, Laricina Energy and Propak Systems in a variety of roles. My focus areas have been predominantly in reservoir, project and environmental engineering.
I'm passionate about sports having played Varsity Tennis in University and lead an active lifestyle. I travel at every opportunity and have travelled all across the Americas, Europe and Asia. I completed one exchange at National Taiwan University (NTU) and one language exchange at Tamkang University (TKU).
I'm always looking for opportunities to connect with local business communities and entrepreneurs having previously been involved with the Hong Kong Canadian Business Association (HKCBA), Start-Up Calgary and the Canadian Youth Business Foundation (CYBF).
