Bio

I am currently a dean's list scholar at the University of Toronto where I am completing my bachelors. I have extensive experience volunteering in my local community at places such as the public library and school. Additionally I have experience working in a registered charity where I completed data work. I have always been big on getting involved outside of school. Currently, I am a part of UofT's paper, The Varsity. This has given me the opportunity to learn more about students, student life and student experience.
