I am a final year Mechanical Engineering and Society student at McMaster University, minoring in Innovation. I've remained steadfast in my commitment to innovation, leadership, and personal growth. My journey has been marked by a proactive engagement in a multitude of projects, competitions, and conferences, all aimed at honing my skills and expanding my horizons.

From my involvement in dynamic teams like Baja Racing and Formula Electric to my participation in prestigious events such as the True North Conference, where I spoke on panels about Social Enterprise and Tech For Good, I've continually sought to push boundaries and make a meaningful impact. My proficiency in technical tools like AutoCAD, SolidWorks, and ANSYS FEA has been further enhanced through hands-on experiences and real-world applications.

One of the highlights of my academic journey was my participation in SHAD, where my team clinched the National John Dobson Entrepreneurship Cup, competing against some of Canada's brightest high school students. This experience ignited my passion for entrepreneurship and laid the foundation for my current venture at the Forge Startup Incubator, where I'm eager to bring my innovative ideas to fruition.

Beyond technical expertise, my leadership skills have been nurtured through various avenues, including my involvement in DECA and delivering TEDx talks. I've also had the privilege of attending leadership conferences like the Kleberg International Leadership Conference, where I engaged in discussions about diversity, inclusivity, and effective leadership practices.

Central to my philosophy is the Japanese concept of 'Kaizen,' emphasizing continuous improvement and lifelong learning. It's a principle I strive to embody in all aspects of my life, driving me to constantly seek new challenges and opportunities for growth.

As I prepare to embark on the next chapter of my journey, I am confident that the diverse experiences and skills I've acquired will serve as a strong foundation for my future endeavors. My engineering portfolio stands as a testament to my achievements and aspirations, showcasing the breadth and depth of my experiences thus far.

In the pursuit of excellence, I remain committed to pushing boundaries, embracing challenges, and making a positive impact in the world around me. My journey as a Mechanical Engineering and Innovation enthusiast is just beginning, and I eagerly anticipate the opportunities and adventures that lie ahead.
