About me:

I am a Canadian from the west coast in British Columbia. I am a first generation university student and grew up in the lower mainland. After highschool, I attended the University of Victoria and obtained a bachelor of science with honours and then a master's degree in economics. Then I worked for close to a year as an economist with Environment Canada.

I now live and work in Montreal, Quebec. I love reading literature, learning French, running, hiking, and playing soccer. I casually shoot film photography and paint.
