SKILLS & INTERESTS

  • Sports

  • Sports have been at the center of my life for as long as I can remember. I picked up hockey and golf from a young age, playing both competitively through highschool. I continue to play hockey recreationally and compete in golf during the summer months.

  • Travel

  • I've been to 17 countries, 178 to go! I love seeing new places and experiencing new things. I've done a summer program in Portugal, backpacked Eastern Europe and Colombia, and visited Tanzania. All of these were amazing experiences and I am looking forward to the next adventure!

  • Coding

  • Since I picked up coding 6 years ago, I have become passionate about using it to solve real-world problems. I have experience in JS, Python, and Java along with React and Django frameworks.

  • Finance

  • Following the stock market has become on of my many hobbies and has piqued my interest in quantitative finance in tandem with my software background.
