National Engineers Week - Employee Spotlights

"I have been serving the renewable energy industry since I graduated from University of Waterloo. I spent most of my time in operations & maintenance aspect of solar energy business but since 2018, I was looking to experience the project management side of renewable industry and make a bigger impact by managing capital projects. Luckily, I had the privilege to step into project management of renewable energy sector in 2021 through Liberty as Project Engineer and began to put my expertise for the

sustainability & improvement of our key assets especially for Wind & Solar portfolio. At Liberty, I love to be among very diversified and professional people who are always looking to make the things better for providing safe, reliable and sustainable energy for communities.”

“I decided to join Liberty because my professional goals align with the company goals. Not only Liberty is in the renewables industry, but I am confident that working here will provide me with the opportunity to do meaningful work, develop my skills, make a positive impact, to grow and progress within the company. I started at Liberty as a Project Engineer in October 2021 and despite having experience in other types of renewables (Wind, Solar and Energy Storage), I was given RNG projects to manage (Renewable

Natural Gas). It made me one of the early RNG pioneers in the company and introduced me to a new technology, which I loved. One year later, in October 2022 I was promoted to Project Manager.

What I like most about working at Liberty are the people and the company's culture, then comes the learning opportunities and the company’s industry (renewables).

The thing that I am most proud of in my career is the fact that I've always worked with renewable energies throughout my professional career, contributing to making the world a better place.

Regarding my goals for the next few months/years, I would say they are to learn more, to show what I am capable of and to grow in the company.

A Fun fact about me is that I like cooking so much that when I decided to move to Canada in 2016, I considered leaving my career in renewables to try a career in cooking and to try and become a chef.”
