Bio

As an immigrant, my journey has shaped my appreciation for education, opportunity, and perseverance. I am currently pursuing a degree in Cybersecurity through a 5-year, 3-co-op program that allows me to alternate between academic study and full-time professional experience. Outside of my co-op rotations, I also pursue internships while maintaining a full-time course load to continue building hands-on experience in tech. I am passionate about gaining real-world experience early and using every opportunity available to grow, learn, and build a meaningful career in technology :)
