"I Call Myself..." - Content Creation and Video Documentation
This student placement will contribute to content creation and video documentation of narrative profiles that are relevant to the participating students. We want to tell your stories, and elaborate the difficult issues that are relevant to young people on a personal and philosophic level. These are self initiated projects, but I am seeking up to 4 candidates. Each student would generate a unique proposal.

Work experience

Heights Residential

March 2019 - August 2022
Wearer of many hats! At Heights I began as a general/rope access technician but gradually moved towards a role focused on training, safety, and documentation. This year, I produced compliance documents, policies, procedures, and a technical manual.
Lead Trainer; Commercial Liason
Men in Kilts
Edmonton, Alberta, Canada
December 2014 - August 2018
As my first foray into the home maintenance industry, MIK introduced me to public speaking, face-to-face sales, and village concept marketing strategies. If nothing else, this franchise stands head and shoulders above in the strength of its branding and company culture. I also wore many hats here: leading and executing sales/marketing KPIs; training new technicians and attending/building workshops during team meetings; marketing, quoting, selling, and running large commercial jobs with condo boards, property managers, housing co-ops, etc; following up with clients, large and small; engaging a modest social media following.
