  Yellowknife, Canada Provided Engineering support to two mine remediation projects at Giant Mine and Gordon Lake in NT. At Giant Mine I took part in the largest continuous concrete pour in Canada as part of an underground stabilization and backfill program. My role there was to monitor the concrete and backfill pours using an underground camera system while preparing reports and communicating with crews. Later in the project I took over the paste QC role on night shift. At Gordon Lake I documented, wrote reports… Show more Provided Engineering support to two mine remediation projects at Giant Mine and Gordon Lake in NT. At Giant Mine I took part in the largest continuous concrete pour in Canada as part of an underground stabilization and backfill program. My role there was to monitor the concrete and backfill pours using an underground camera system while preparing reports and communicating with crews. Later in the project I took over the paste QC role on night shift. At Gordon Lake I documented, wrote reports, and performed QC on the construction of a mine waste containment area, as well as the remediation of peripheral mine sites. Show less

  Edmonton, Canada Awarded two consecutive NSERC Undergraduate Student Research Awards so I could work full time for two summers in a supercritical fluids lab. The lab’s research is in the removal of hydrocarbon contaminants from waste streams using supercritical carbon dioxide as a solvent. I chose to work in this professor’s lab because I wanted to help innovate new remediation technologies for soil and water bodies.

The lab’s research is in the removal of hydrocarbon contaminants from waste streams using supercritical carbon dioxide as a solvent. I chose to work in this professor’s lab because I wanted to help innovate new remediation technologies for soil and water bodies. Over my time here, I developed relationships with the technician and graduate students on the team and gained valuable lab experience. My responsibilities were to ensure experiments ran efficiently by independently conducting high pressure cleans of the system, helping to install apparatus, gathering quotes for new equipment, conducting experiments, and compiling data. I was also required to train a new graduate and summer student on how to safely operate, initialize, and clean experimental equipment. Show less
