She joined Cameco Corporation in the summer of 2016 as an Environmental Assistant, where she worked in the Compliance and Licensing department for three extended work terms.

In addition to her discipline-specific training, Alyse continues to be involved in her community. Most recently she has volunteered with the Saskatchewan Mining Association, the Cameco Community Kitchen, the Cameco Cultural Reading Program, Touchdown for Dreams and the Cameco Cares Concert Series.
