Forestry Co-op Program

Co-Op Student - City of Campbell River During my second co-op term this fall, I continued with the Liquid Waste Services Department at the City of Campbell River on Vancouver Island, building seamlessly on my summer experience. I deepened my involvement in digitizing sanitary laterals and ponds using ArcGIS, while expanding into Lift Station operations, which included uploading Electrical Asset Component data for multiple stations, copying and digitizing work reports, and preparing daily summaries.

Timber Engineering Project Worker - Faculty of Forestry & Environmental Stewardship, University of British Columbia During my co-op term at the Timber Engineering and Applied Mechanics (TEAM) Lab, I have been working closely with graduate researchers to support experimental testing on mass timber products, assist with sample preparation, and manage data collection for structural performance studies. Through this experience, I have strengthened my technical skills in laboratory procedures, quality control, and data analysis, while also gaining a deeper understanding of how material behavior, testing protocols, and experimental variability influence real-world engineering design.

Programmes and Administrative Intern - Waterways Watch Society This term I worked as a Programmes and Administrative Intern at Waterways Watch Society (WWS), a non-profit and non-governmental organization in Singapore. Founded in 1998, WWS creates opportunities for everyone to engage with ownership of Singapore's waterways, a vital source of freshwater for the country.
