I was involved with the inaugural year of the Erasmus Mundus Masters program: Advanced Masters in Structural Analysis of Monuments and Historic Constructions. The opportunity to spend a year in Europe studying a topic of personal interest was in many ways priceless. I was fortunate to get this chance, and glad I partook.

Currently I am in Fredericton, Canada, working in a structural engineering firm. Over the next year I will be using my credentials to get more work in the field of historical structures, and have already been informed by other professionals that people with my expertise are rare and in great demand.
