(Well, a condensed version of it.)

This is my story!

I am from a small town, but always had big dreams.

I worked hard and supported myself, encouraged myself and lifted myself up.

And working hard paid off.

I became an entrepreneur, a world traveller, an activist, and a representative of my country at a young age.

I raised money to attend university working 7 days a week housekeeping.

When I found UX, I found my purpose.

I am now finishing a 5 year program as a UX undergraduate at Wilfrid Laurier University.

In my spare time,

I have embraced my destiny as a cat mom and “colossal geek”, as my aunt would call me.

Playing video and tabletop games are some of my favourite activities to keep my mind creative and decompress.

And thats how I got here!

The most rewarding part,

Is empowering people who are often overlooked by working with nonprofits like Big Brothers and Big Sisters and Better Street.
