I am a student at the University of Waterloo studying Mechatronics Engineering. I love facing new challenges and learning through them.

Aside from my time pursuing a career in Mechatronics Engineering, I am an avid skier and enjoy training in Go Ju Ryu Karate. During the warmer months, I also like to spend my time biking.
