A Bit About Me
I grew up in a mountain town and am an outdoors enthusiast who loves to spend time being active in nature. I am currently pursuing a Bachelors degree in Mechanical Engineering at the University of Toronto in hopes of designing sustainable solutions to allow us to keep enjoying our beautiful planet for generations to come. As part of the twenty-somethings crew, I too am working to experience all that I can and continue to learn and grow. After a crazy year of personal projects and travelling, I am excited to share some of the stories here for those who are similarly stepping outside of their comfort zone.

Returned to the University of Toronto to complete my 4th and final year of my Bachelor of Applied Science! I'm back on the field with Varsity Blues Soccer and have started my Capstone Project on a solar powered water purification device.
Spent the summer travelling around the U.S. in my self-converted micro campervan. I solo travelled through 22 states over the span of 2.5 months, living the van life.
Did a 5-week solo travel through Europe, visiting 7 countries and 19 cities, catching up with old and new friends abroad.
Worked at Deloitte LLP in Toronto for my 12-month Professional Experience Year (PEY/Co-op). I was an Analyst working with the Risk Advisory Team and had the opportunity to develop the winning CortexAI Hackathon product for supporting government decision-making through natural disaster response.
