Ivana is the go-to person in the construction class whenever anybody gets stuck. She is always able to figure out a different way to design things, fit them together and make them work the way they should. She’s creative and resourceful about using surplus material and saving money on projects. She always works safely and isn’t afraid to make mistakes. In fact, some of her best projects started out as something completely different.
Ivana is an all-around great student, so has a lot of choice when it comes to post-secondary. She’s keen to complete an apprenticeship, become a Red Seal carpenter and then connect with others in trades to build her own carpentry business.
