What is your current job?
I am responsible for managing a group of experts in water treatment and water management from our offices around the world. I work with my colleagues to develop and sell Hatch’s capablities in this important area.
What made you want to pursue a career in engineering?
In my final year of high school I did a project on polymers, and I was fascinated by the idea of controlling material properties by designing its chemical structure and processing. This led me to Queen’s to take their Engineering Chemistry program.
What’s your favourite part of your job?
I really enjoy working with experts from around the world to solve real world problems. Water is so critical to life – not only for drinking and food production, but also for energy and industrial production. Working out how to balance water demands and to protect this critical social resource is fascinating on so many different levels.
How do you celebrate National Engineering Month?
I enjoy reading about the many great engineers working in different fields.
What advice do you have for young women who hope to pursue a career in your field?
It’s a great career that will take you where you want to go – be it deep into the science, around the world on projects, or into managing people and businesses.
