SUMMARY:High-Performance Habits for Career Success
DESCRIPTION:About the Event \nThis virtual event will feature three presentations from panelists who will discuss the key habits that have helped them succeed in university and work. Following presentations\, we will have a Q&A session\, as well as small breakout rooms where students can network with young professionals. \nHow to Register \nClick here to register!\nWe are looking for young professionals to volunteer for the event. This will be a 1.5 hour time commitment\, and will include a 30 minute discussion on presentation topics\, networking with students\, and answering questions. No advance preparation is required. If you have any questions or are interested in volunteering\, please contact Afzal Waseem: afzal.waseem@tetratech.com or Martina Riessner: martina.riessner@hatch.com. \nAbout the Speakers \nPrabeen Joshi\, Ph.D.\, P.Eng – Engineering Business Manager at Layfield Group \nPrabeen Joshi was born in Nepal and lived there for the first 25 years of his life until he decided to see the world\, learn languages and cultures. He has since lived in and visited parts of five different continents. He currently lives in Vancouver. In his formal education has learnt about water resources management\, geotechnical engineering\, the performance of geosynthetic liners in containment facilities\, among many other things\, but he got real engineering training at work through lab work\, fieldwork\, design exercises\, and project management experiences. He is passionate about educating young engineers\, volunteering\, and being out in nature for hiking\, biking\, kayaking etc. \nSamantha Taylor\, P.Eng – Geological Engineer at Hatch \nSam Taylor is a geological engineer (Queen’s University) with over six years of experience in the Dynamic Earth Solutions Practice at Hatch. She has worked in the geotechnical group in both the Niagara Falls and Vancouver offices and spent a lot of time on-site in the early years of her career. She acted as the lead geologist at the Keeyask Generation Station in Manitoba\, worked as a dam construction monitor at a major hydropower project in Newfoundland and Labrador\, and led and supported in a Quality Assurance/Quality Control role at a mine in northern Ontario. Sam has notable experience in dam safety\, geotechnical investigation programs\, and instrumentation and monitoring program\, design and is currently developing her rock mechanics skills. Sam calls the Rockies home\, loves to scramble\, and started her rock collection at an early age\, so her career path was no surprise! \nPia Abercromby\, P.Eng – Bridge Engineer at McElhanney \nPia Abercromby studied at the University of Auckland in New Zealand where she spent the first five years of her career designing large civil structures. Since moving to Vancouver in 2015\, she has been working as a Bridge Engineer at McElhanney. She has been involved in the design of bridges from 8 m long to 800 m long and has gained her professional engineering designation. When not at work\, Pia can be found in the wilderness skiing\, rock climbing\, hiking or trail running (or at the moment\, running around Vancouver). \n
