About

I'm a student at Wilfrid Laurier University studying Computer Science. I have spent two wonderful summers as a Software Engineer at xMentium, where I have been lucky enough to work on a variety of exciting projects while receiving amazing mentorship and professional development.


I am interested in software architecture, system design, business strategy and science communication.
