Currently, I am working as part of the University of British Columbia’s student design team called the Biomedical Engineering Student Team. Here, we work with clients to create and improve adaptive devices such as the “TrailRider” and an electrocardiogram feedback device. I am also the Assistant Vice President of the University of British Columbia’s Quantum club where I work on bridging the gap between undergraduate and graduate levels of quantum research through mentorship programs, seminars, and workshops.

Additionally, I am also interested in exploring the intersection between STEM and the liberal arts and bridging the gap between these two fields.
