I completed my undergrad at McGill University in Montreal, Quebec. I have an Honours Mathematics degree and a Computer Science Minor (B.Sc). In the Fall of 2024, I was a Teaching Assistant for COMP 547 (Cryptography and Data Security). I was also a Course Assistant for MATH 454 (Honours Analysis 3) and a peer tutor at the Math Help Desk, providing mathematics and statistics tutoring for students. Last year, I acted as the Honours Representative for the McGill Society of Undergraduate Mathematics and Statistics Students (SUMS), where I met with professors involved in the Committee on Undergraduate Affairs (CUA) to discuss decisions relating to course curriculum and degree requirements. Previously, I have served as a course assistant, grader, and review session lecturer for various courses.

I also enjoyed participating on McGill's Model United Nations Delegation Team which travels and competes in conferences across North America. Last year, I was the Head Delegate (President) of the team and sat on the Board of Directors for the International Relations Students' Association of McGill (IRSAM), an incorporated not-for-profit with consultative status to the United Nations. I further ranked on the top tier of the North American College Model United Nations All-Star Team.
