About

I am a fourth year finance and economics major on-track to complete my Bachelor of Commerce degree in May 2024. Following graduation, I intend to continue my career in venture capital and entrepreneurship.

In addition to my professional endeavours as a financial literacy advocate and passionate sustainability consultant, I plan to extend my current organic farming activities into a life-long passion project focused on building high-yielding, regenerative farming solutions to promote environmental sustainability and food security.

I am actively involved in my community supporting three social impact organizations in the spaces of financial literacy, advocacy, and food security. My involvement carries over into my school environment where I serve as captain of the Saint Mary’s University field hockey team, Fund Manager (Financials and REITs) with the SMU IMPACT Fund, and VP of Innovation with Enactus Saint Mary’s.

In recognition of my entrepreneurial activities, academic success, and community involvement I am grateful to have received the Sobey National Innovator Scholarship (2020) and the Frank H. Sobey Award for Excellence in Business Studies (2023).
