Thanks for stopping by, 

A creative driven professional with a passion for Marketing, tech, and finance. Striving always to learn new skills. Experience comes in many ways, and I hope to make as many memorable ones as possible. 

A few quick notes about me:
Undergraduate in Political science, Economics, and Public Policy at the University of Toronto 
Pursuing a career in marketing, finance, or analytics 
I spent the last few professional years in banking and Big Tech

In my personal life, I spend it outdoors in various activities or building mechanical things from cars to boats. I have a love for trying new things and challenging myself to embrace things I don't know. When not doing these, I will most likely be spending time with friends or cooking for my loved ones. 

Always happy to connect and learn from others
