I graduated with distinction in both my BSc in financial mathematics and economics and my BSc computer science ( I know, it's a mouthful).  When I initially enrolled at UVic, my intention was to pursue clinical psychology. I really enjoyed trying to understand human behaviour and how people experience life. However, after some introspection and a growing passion for analytical challenges I gravitated towards economics. It wasn't until a year into the program, and talking through my peers' programming assignments with them, that I declared in computer science. 

In my upper level years I seized the opportunity to take human computer interaction and UX design courses, which led me to my masters with Universite Paris-Saclay. This field combines the logic of computer science and the idea of optimization from economics with my experience in client care and interest in the human experience.

Recently, I worked with the eDAPT lab at UBC to explore inclusivity and mental health and social well being technology. My research centered around challenging assumptions in literature, taking a socio-technical approach to design, and following a co-design methodology.  This research was the basis for my thesis, which achieved the highest grade of my graduating class.
