INSPIRING EXPERIENCESOUTSIDE THE CLASSROOM
As a UAlberta student I startedworking part-time (Full-time duringthe summer) as a research assistantI helped Landmark Group Master
Builder with their BIM (building information model)development project The most important lessonI learned is to gain self confidence and to believemy role is very important to this company as wellas my co-workers I BELONG to this company
This new mindset really helped me to gain lots ofconfidence and has kept my future rolling toward ahealthy direction
I became a permanent employee shortly afterI finished my last exam in my final semester
