I joined Liberty as a Market Analyst Co-op in 2021. During this time, I was doing my master’s degree in Sustainable Energy, at Carleton University, and I was always interested in working on the business side of the renewables industry. Such an opportunity played a key role in pursuing my career goals and expanding my learning curve. In my role, I worked on multiple transactions and investment opportunities, covering various green technology: such as RNG, Wind, Solar, and Green Hydrogen. I also supported in conducting market research in the Energy & Power sectors in North America. These tasks allowed me to gain extensive knowledge on how to evaluate investments, support in due diligence, and gain more insights on the energy market and ISOs trends.
The team at Liberty was friendly and supportive, ensuring to assign key projects to me. I was able to add value to the team, while learning concurrently. It's great to work in a team where you can add value to the business and directly support Liberty’s long-term strategy. Liberty offers co-op students to participate in a reverse mentorship program, which basically assigns co-op students to pair with a senior leader to provide more insights on the general work environment and learn from each other. This program helped me learn more about the business and build a new connection at Liberty.
I am really excited to go back and join the team on a full-time basis this summer to continue working with the corporate development team on diversifying the company’s vast portfolio and investing in new technologies.
