PROFILE
Yes, Medicine Hat has a dam. “Not many people know that. It holds back a reservoir for irrigation,” she explains. Ms. Buchner loves that her job offers such a diverse variety of projects. “Every day is a little bit different, which is really great. It’s nice to try different things and figure out what you really like. That’s important when you’re first starting off, because you don’t know until you get to experience it,” says Ms. Buchner. Volunteering with APEGA has also helped her connect with like-minded professionals and further build her skills. “You meet people on the same career path. And now they’ve become friends and mentors.” CROSS THEM OFF THE BUCKET LIST Travel is a passion for Randi Buchner, E.I.T. In the past year, she’s explored two extremes: Portugal’s temperate Mediterranean coast (top) and Iceland’s subarctic natural beauty. -photos courtesy Randi Buchner, E.I.T.
