What makes you proud to be working at Bureau Veritas?

It is a world-renowned company with an outstanding reputation of being trustworthy and reliable and that is important to me.

How has your career grown since starting at the company?

I started my career with the company as a Laboratory Technician in 2003. I was promoted to an Analyst 1 and Analyst 2 and now I am a Senior Analyst in Microbiology.

What has been one of the most rewarding projects you’ve worked on?

I would say it’s not really one project, but testing the drinking water for our local municipalities. I’ve been doing that since the beginning and I am still doing it today. To me, testing the drinking water for e-coli for the people in our communities is important. People depend on the water being safe to use every day.

What do you like to do in your spare time?

I like to watch hockey. My favorite team is the Detroit Red Wings. I like to cook and bake, I also sew. I have some indoor plants so this year I plan to try to do a little vegetable garden in my yard, we’ll see how that goes.

What does “shaping a world of trust” mean to you?

To me it means being honest, trustworthy and dependable all the time, every time in every situation, whether at home or at work.
