I was fortunate to get involved in several successful student organizations, most notably the University of Calgary solar car team. As the sponsorship manager, I was tasked with completing the fundraising for two separate solar car projects where we designed, built and raced each car in World Solar Challenge in Australia. This multi-disciplinary project provided me with both the practical skills and experience that nurtured my interest for sustainable technology, and directed me into a career in the energy sector.
