General
I believe that you can't improve what you can't measure, which is why I emphasize research in all my work. I achieved my BA in Psychology and Media Communications from Simon Fraser University. I use my background in Psychology and Communications along with the knowledge I gained through certifications in UI/UX, Product Management, and Digital Marketing to solve a wide variety of problems facing those in this digital world.

Brazilian Jiu Jitsu
I have been training in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu since 2019 and am currently a Blue Belt. Consistently training has increased my work ethic, taught me how work under pressures (figuratively and literally), and enhanced my on-the-fly problem solving skills. I compete regularly and most recently got 2nd place at Grappling Industries (Vancouver) in July.
Gaming
One of my favourite hobbies is playing video games. I have been playing games since I was roughly 3-4 years old and started with the Gameboy Colour and N64. Some of my favourite games (in no particular order) are:
-

-

Hiking
When the weather is nice there are few things more rewarding than reaching the peak of one of Vancouver’s many scenic hikes. I try to hike each summer and have gone to a number of different hiking trails throughout the province. Hiking is a great way to stay active while enjoying nature and the company of those around you. Being able to unplug and take a step back is huge as this ensures I don't overwork myself.
Cooking
During the COVID-19 Pandemic I started to learn how to cook. I enjoy cooking because I feel that I have the freedom to be both creative and technical. Cooking is not as scientific as baking and thus I have more leeway when trying something new.
Some of the meals I enjoy making are:
-
Chicken Skewers (Chicken, peppers, onions, pineapples)
-
Rice boiled in coconut milk and chicken stock with BBQ jerk chicken
-
Steelhead baked in soy sauce, maple syrup, and dijon mustard with green beans
-
Greek Pita Wraps
