MODERATOR

Anita Yengue is an Aerospace Engineer (AERE) Officer currently employed by the Canadian Armed Forces. Because she enjoys travelling, it’s unsurprising to friends and family that she takes pride in working closely with aircraft. Anita is a licensed Professional Engineer with an undergraduate degree in Electromechanical Engineering and a Master’s in Business Administration (MBA) from the University of Moncton. Proud to serve all Canadians, she considers Canada’s diversity a strength and a way to showcase our values, objectives, and goals on the world stage.

 Anita worked in the manufacturing industry as an Electronic Project Lead Engineer and a Project Manager before joining the military in 2012. She occupied several positions as an aerospace engineer, including aircraft maintenance officer and project management roles. During that time, she also taught in various technical colleges within the National Capital Region, which prompted her to tutor and work closely with underprivileged youth and refugees in her free time.
