Biography

I have years of experience in a range of roles in academia, from researcher in a multitude of fields (e.g., particle physics, dentistry, biophotonics, medical physics, liver disease) to educator in various capacities for grade levels kindergarten to undergraduate (e.g., Teaching assistantships at the University of Toronto, Peer-leader at York University, volunteer with Let’s Talk Science, tutor, mentor). I have been fortunate to receive a multitude of awards and scholarships in pursuit of these passions (including most notably 2 NSERC USRA, NSERC CGS-M, and the Julie Kim Memorial award). In pursuing an MEng at the University of Toronto in the department of Biomedical engineering, I strive to formally build a background in clinical engineering to begin contributing to the field of rehabilitation medicine.
