Career Story
After high school, I started at Conestoga College with plans to begin a welding apprenticeship. But once I saw the robotic welding systems in action, I was instantly hooked. I became fascinated by how the robots worked and how they were programmed. That interest led me to switch into the Manufacturing Engineering Technologist – Welding & Robotics program, where I earned an advanced diploma. It was the perfect blend of hands-on welding and high-tech automation, and it set me on the path to working with cutting-edge robotic systems in the nuclear industry.
