As part of my post-secondary education: I have done bachelors of Physics and Diploma in Electronics. In my physics program, I learned the theory aspect of science, and on my electronics program, I learned all the practical side of science. In this position, I would need a basic knowledge of LAN, Basic circuit connection, using testing devices. If there is any damage to the module or board I am carrying would have a problem, then I would need to troubleshoot. All of this knowledge I have learned in my electronics program, which would be relatable to the Company.

My post-secondary education began in the Semester at Sea. This allowed me to explore the diversity of the world through 12 different countries across 3 continents. I was able to gain many new perspectives of different world views, beliefs, and values, which I believe is a great asset. Once I finished Semester at Sea I jumped straight into NAV CANADA, completing my FEAST testing. While waiting to hear about my interview, I wanted to continue in the aviation industry while waiting to hear back from my dream career. So I completed the Atlantic Flight Attendant Academy Flight Attendant Program.
