Engineer at Senez Consulting Inc.
M.Eng. in Fire Protection Engineering
I am a professional engineer in Quebec and a Certified Fire and Explosion Investigator with a background in both practical firefighting and fire protection engineering. I began my career as a municipal firefighter after earning a DEP in Professional Firefighting from IPIQ and a DEC in Technical Firefighting Studies. I later worked in fire prevention before earning a degree in Building Engineering from Concordia University. I have experience as a forensic engineer, investigating the causes of fires and explosions and conducting lab tests to support technical hypotheses. I recently graduated from UMD with a master’s degree in Fire Protection Engineering and am now enrolled in an MBA program at John Molson School of Business.

I chose the University of Maryland because its master’s program in Fire Protection Engineering is internationally recognized for its academic excellence and strong industry relevance.
