Be open to the idea of moving to a new town or city for the right job.

My favourite thing about the job is the responsibility you get given. Even when you have only been there for a week, you are joining meetings and are considered a critical part of the team.

Having great management, organizational, and communicative skills is helpful for this role but the main thing someone would need when wanting to work in this role is the willingness to learn.

The best part of my internship was being able to design a new build extension to the Saint Mark’s church in Opawa.

I've learned that a good teacher is someone who’s willing to work on themselves and to be teachable.

The coolest thing about my job is the autonomy I have. Even as an intern I have control over my daily schedule. I can choose if I’m working at the office or from home. I can choose what tasks I prioritise and control the flow of my work.

I work with amazing people and love being able to interact with them daily. R&D is very central to the organization and therefore requires a high degree of communication with multiple functions
