Biggest obstacle overcome: Navigating a new position while concurrently leading PCL Ottawa’s COVID-19 response.

Biggest influences: My co-workers at PCL have taught me everything I know about the industry and how to navigate the various aspects of it while still having fun shaping the city’s landscape.

Biggest lesson learned during COVID-19: It’s important to be flexible when looking at ways to maintain operational excellence, personal interactions and communication.

First job: Paperboy for the Ottawa Citizen and lawnmower extraordinaire.

Advice I’d give the younger me: Work hard, learn as much as you can from those around you, and know that consistency and patience will pay off in the end.
