I am pursuing a Bachelor of Engineering in Civil Engineering and Society and a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology at McMaster University, where I am learning to address social and environmental challenges through engineering principles and methods. I am passionate about creating sustainable and resilient infrastructure solutions that improve the quality of life for communities. In addition to my coursework, I have participated in various sustainability projects as a Research Assistant at the University of Waterloo, where I helped develop a biodegradable plastic made from lignin, a polymer that is found in trees.
