MY STORY
Five years ago, I was a determined individual with a dream of becoming a civil engineer. Despite having no prior knowledge of the English language, I was determined to learn and overcome this obstacle. I spent countless hours studying and practicing, and after Five long years of hard work, I was finally able to enroll in the prestigious civil engineering program at Dalhousie University.
Throughout my time at Dalhousie, I excelled in my studies and also learned valuable construction skills, such as reading blueprints and understanding building codes. My dedication and hard work paid off when I received my engineering diploma.
Now, I am on my way to obtaining my bachelor's degree in engineering and continue to be an organized and determined person with strong principles and discipline. My journey to becoming an engineer has not been easy, but my determination and perseverance have brought me to where I am today.
As an engineer student , I have the skills and knowledge to benefit any company that I work for. I am able to design and oversee the construction of complex projects, ensuring that they are completed on time and within budget. My attention to detail and ability to problem solve make me an asset to any team. My employees can trust that I will always put their best interests at heart and will go above and beyond to help them succeed.
Companies should be interested in hiring me because of my strong work ethic and dedication to my profession. I have a proven track record of success and will bring valuable skills and experience to their team. My positive attitude and willingness to learn make me a great fit for any company looking to hire a talented and hardworking future engineer

Research
-
As a civil engineering student at Dalhousie University, I am particularly interested in the topic of resilient infrastructure.
-
Climate change and natural disasters such as earthquakes and hurricanes can have devastating effects on the built environment, and I believe that it is important for civil engineers to design infrastructure that can withstand and recover from these events.
-
Some approaches that I am studying as part of my research include the use of innovative materials and construction techniques, the incorporation of smart technologies that can monitor and adapt to changing conditions, and the development of plans for post-disaster reconstruction and recovery.

University of Prince Edward Island
In my first year of the sustainable design engineering program at the University of Prince Edward Island, I learned a great deal before I transferred to Dalhousie, about the importance of considering the environmental, social, and economic impacts of the built environment. I learned about the various principles of sustainability and how to apply them to the design and construction of buildings, roads, and other infrastructure projects. I also gained an understanding of the various tools and techniques that engineers can use to assess the sustainability of a project, including life cycle assessment, carbon footprint analysis, and stakeholder engagement. Overall, my first year in the sustainable design engineering program at the University of Prince Edward Island has been a valuable and enriching experience, and I am excited to continue learning and making a positive impact on the world through my work as an engineer.
