“The Canadian Obesity Network” Rumbi Zinyemba, Zimbabwe

As a UAlberta student, I started “L’Express, a local restaurant and deli” working part-time (Full-time during Javier Pinto, Venezuela the summer) as a research assistant. I helped Landmark Group Master Builder with their BIM (building information model) development project. The most important lesson I learned is to gain self confidence and to believe my role is very important to this company as well as my co-workers. I BELONG to this company. This new mindset really helped me to gain lots of confidence and has kept my future rolling toward a healthy direction.

I became a permanent employee shortly after I finished my last exam in my final semester. “University of Alberta Libraries” Trang Nguyen, Vietnam
