About

I thrive in engaging and open-minded atmospheres as exploring new concepts intrigues me. I always push myself to make things better by learning and trying new things.  One of our most impactful projects is my final thesis project but not for conventional reasons. Due to covid i was working from home, when it came time for us to make our final 1-1 prototypes we couldn't just go into the shop to make them, they were instead 3d printed. This gave the chance to push my personal 3d printed to its limits to get a 1-1 model. This was a great change to get very familiar with my printer and learn how to get efficient print out of it. 

I have been working in teams since I was young. From projects to sports to esports, the significance of listening and feedback when working in groups has been drilled into my mind. I have learned the importance of teamwork, analysis, and communication.

For years I did robotics competitions in the Canadian Robotics Competition and the First Robotics Competition. This gave me a familiar knowledge with mechanics and 3d printing at a young age to make the robots required.
