Meet Quin R.

“I have nothing but good things to say about my Arts Work Experience term with Beljan Development as a Real Estate Development Intern. Since starting with Beljan, I have learned a lot about city building and how urban planning fits into the development process. My work at Beljan involves a variety of tasks, ranging from creating rezoning applications to providing leasing tours and everything in between! Recently, I have been coordinating development projects and am excited to see the outcome. The work is fast-paced, and no two days are the same.

My best advice for new AWE students is to relax! It can be extremely daunting searching for a position and heading into an unknown workplace. If you remain open-minded through the process, opportunities will present themselves. When you find a position, remember that you deserve to be there, and that you offer a unique set of skills to the team you’re working with. Continue to ask questions and you’ll be astonished by the growth you’ll see from your work term.”

Quin is in his 4th year of a Bachelor of Arts degree with a major in Urban Planning and minor in Political science. He is also completing a Certificate in Sustainability. He is very passionate about urban design, housing affordability and heritage preservation and is looking forward to making an impact on Edmonton’s built landscape. In his free time, he can be found playing music with his band around town or hanging out with his lovely friends.
