Bio
As a Biomechanical Engineering student, I am passionate about leveraging engineering principles to solve complex problems. My portfolio is a collection of projects and experiences that reflect my dedication to this field. I am born and raised in Calgary, AB where I grew a passion for hiking, climbing and running alongside my partner in crime Baxter, aka my dog.
​
I have a heightened interest of prosthetics and the design and creating of new innovative solutions for those in need of synthetic appendages. As well as developing technology in robotics to help create tools to minimize risk associated with surgical procedures.
​
In my free time I enjoy doing all outdoor activities. Majority of the time I will be running by the water or playing games in the park with my friends. I also consistently try to expand my knowledge in my topics of interest such as the human body and radio frequency by reading articles and watching informative lectures on these topics.
Education
I have pursued a rigorous academic path in Biomechanical Engineering, focusing on subjects such as biomechanical product development, computing, and mechanical design. My academic journey has equipped me with the knowledge and skills needed to excel in this dynamic and challenging field.
Projects
Throughout my academic and professional journey, I have been involved in various impactful projects that have allowed me to apply theoretical knowledge to real-world scenarios. These projects have honed my problem-solving abilities and fostered a deep understanding of biomechanical engineering concepts.
​
​Within a team I am an action-oriented member, maintaining order with a thought-out timeline. I like to support all member and occasionally fall into the leadership role. Bringing our team to a consensus and progressing along to ensure quality and efficiency is met.

Provide support to in-house production and supplier manufacturing sites by resolving manufacturing automation issues and preventing occurrence by making manufacturing hardware and software improvements and proposing product or process changes.
The Queen’s Engineering Competition aims to inspire excellence through competition within the Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science. Delegates are invited to a conference-style case competition. As Co-Chair, I will hire and lead a team of people for positions in areas such as speakers, sponsorship, logistics, marketing, finance, and more.
As a Leadership Skills Educator, I was part of the Student Experience Office’s support team. Through the academic year, myself and a few other students will lead the Leadership Workshop Series. This is a set of workshops designed to broader participant’s perspectives on leadership, have them develop and practice key leadership skills, and provide opportunities for students to connect with like-minded peers in the Queen’s community.
