What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role on a water or energy team where I can apply process design and optimization skills, contribute to sustainable projects, and grow toward licensure in a collaborative, safety-focused environment.

I am an aspiring chemical engineer with a Water-Energy Technologies specialization from McMaster University and hands-on experience in chemical process operations. At Tesla Canada I operated and maintained multiple CSTRs, developed SOPs, performed mass and energy balances, and collaborated on root-cause analysis to improve reliability and safety.

I contributed to a multidisciplinary design project for ocean alkalinization and a Bipolar Membrane Electrodialysis system, using Aspen Plus, WAVE, and Winflows to optimize RO and NF processes and estimate capital costs for large-scale desalination. I have experience creating PFDs and P&IDs and performing environmental and economic analyses.

I bring strong skills in process simulation, hydraulic modelling, data analysis, and safety/regulatory compliance, and I am eligible for PEO licensure (EIT pathway). I seek to apply technical expertise and a sustainability focus to deliver operational excellence in water or energy teams.
