"I’ve had the unique opportunity to be involved in planning entire neighbourhoods and communities. Many planners don’t get these opportunities during their professional career, so I am very fortunate for this experience. I work with wonderful colleagues who are friendly and helpful, and I have learned a lot by working on a variety of residential, industrial, and commercial development projects."
