Alumni Up-date from Rachel Min

Rachel Min
After graduating from the BCIT Airport Operations program in 2012, I relocated to Smithers to work at the head office of Central Mountain Air. In January of this year, I moved back to Vancouver as I was offered the Noise Information Officer position in the Environment Department at YVR. I did both of my practicums with them when I was in the program, so it was very exciting for me to join the team officially.  

The Environment Department at YVR is responsible for various environmental programs such as air quality, energy efficiency, water quality, waste management, hazardous materials, spill response and noise management. As a Noise Information Officer, I assist with noise mitigation projects, handle noise concerns from the public, conduct data collection and analysis, and work on community and stakeholder engagement of the YVR noise management programs. Working for the Airport Authority has been awesome, and I enjoy every bit of my job.

Frankly, I was a bit hesitant to take this job at first since it was supposed to be an 8 month term position. However, I am glad I did because the experience I’ve gained for the past 6 months has been invaluable - plus, my term has been extended for another year! I am very grateful for this opportunity to work at YVR and look forward to seeing where it will lead me to.


Note:  Congratulations Rachel from all of us in the Aviation Operations programs!
