03. What I Love
Baking
Started out as a COVID hobby but kept going! I love baking various breads and desserts to share with friends and family, and even created a Recipe Generator compiling my favourites!
Badminton
Having played for almost ten years, it's one of my favourite ways to get some movement in my day.
Working towards important initiatives
I care deeply about making education and career resources accessible to underrepresented and low-income groups.
As VP of Women in Engineering at the University of Waterloo, I have led our team to create an inclusive environment for women and non-binary individuals, while opening doors to networking and skill development opportunities.
I’ve also loved contributing as a developer for designathons and career conferences, helping bring these opportunities to an even broader audience.
