As Software Engineer, I aspire to make a difference in the lives around me through the means of technology. I am motivated to gain experience throughout the depths of the technology industry, from tech giants down to start-up companies. I strive to play an active role, not only on the front lines as a programmer but also to hold a management position, putting my leadership skills to work. With various ties to the engineering and business communities, I have developed a keen interest to pursue a career in software development and project management. 

As a highly motivated student, I never settle for less than the best when working on a project, whether it be academic, extracurricular or business related. I continue to receive diverse achievements throughout my academic career, from Academic Distinctions, Excellence in Education and appointment to the Dean's Honour List. Furthermore, through my distinct work and volunteer experiences, I have developed a vital skill-base for positions in a leadership role. Through my experience as a camp counselor, I was able to work in teams to successfully plan and lead weekly activities. As an executive on Student Council, I helped lead and manage the planning and execution of school-wide events throughout the year. As a result of my academic achievements and extracurricular roles, I continue to develop a well-rounded skill set within the technology industry.
