About me

I am a dedicated and driven final year Electrical Engineering student at the University of Alberta with a passion for project management, mechatronics, and aerospace robotics. 

Well-versed with 2D- and 3D-CAD tools, 3D printing, low/medium voltage circuits, and software development, I am a team player with boundless creativity and curiosity!

Outside of work and school, I like camping, snowboarding, and working on my car!
