About Me

I'm a 4th-year student at the University of Victoria, double-majoring in Computer Science and Psychology with a Business minor focused on product development. Specializing in cognitive neuroscience through psychology and interactive design through computer science, I strive to bridge the gap between how people think and how technology serves them.

As a Type 1w2 (The Advocate), my drive to improve and perfect things is grounded in a deep desire to make a positive impact. I’m motivated by ideals of excellence, but with a compassionate edge—I want my work to genuinely help people and address meaningful issues.

In tech, I find purpose through product development, where I can solve complex problems through a structured, iterative process. From identifying user needs to designing and refining solutions, the journey from concept to execution fascinates me. Projects like Safe Haven, HydroFit, and my mentorship work with Figma teams have all allowed me to apply this approach in impactful ways

Ultimately, I want to create experiences that are not only effective and efficient, but also intuitive, accessible, and socially meaningful.
