About

I am currently on my co-op term after completing my 3rd year of Electrical Engineering at McMaster University. Throughout the years, I have strengthened my time-management and leadership skills through various extracurriculars and work experiences while also successfully balancing school. I remember the excitement when I wrote my first line of code in high school. Watching the code I wrote come to life is satisfying and the feeling of accomplishment after discovering and fixing a bug is hard to replicate. Engineering at McMaster provides me with the perfect opportunity to continue to develop these interest and passions. I am always ready to take on new challenges and I look forward to what the future holds.
