Amanda, based in Montreal, QC, Canada, has been a member of the controls group at Bastian Solutions since 2013. She has a Bachelor of Applied Science in mechanical engineering from the University of Waterloo. Although she enjoys interesting design or programming challenges, she is equally passionate about coaching, mentorship, and helping the next generation of engineers grow and succeed in their careers. Her current role as a controls engineering lead allows her to experience the best of both worlds - serving as a leader/manager within her team while also hanging onto the technical aspects of engineering.
