After graduating, Sorba accepted positions working with Pomerleau in Atlantic Canada and Farmer Construction in British Columbia. She has worked on a number of projects including The Alexander, a condo project attached to the historic Keith’s Brewery in Halifax, and the Victoria International Marina in Victoria, B.C.
When she returned to Hamilton in 2018, Sorba joined Ira McDonald Construction and got involved with the HHCA’s Young Leaders Group. Over the years she has acted as secretary and contributed to the delivery of the YLG Talks education series and networking events.
