  • About Me

    I am a driven first year Master's (MASc) student at the Power Electronics lab of the Faculty of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of British Columbia, interested in creating a better world through impactful engineering. My Bachelor's degree was also from UBC, in the Integrated Engineering program, which gave me a breadth of inter-disciplinary skills while specializing in electrical engineering.

    I am currently looking for opportunities to hone my software and firmware engineering skills to complement my strong hardware skills.

    I am a fast-learner with excellent technical, leadership, project management and communication skills as evident in my multiple internships and leadership experiences. In my free time, I enjoy drinking coffee, reading, playing the cello and snowboarding. If we share similar interests I would love to connect with you!
