About Me
I am interested in giving back to the UTM community as it played a huge part in where I am today. I also want students to have as good of an experience as I had in University and I am interested in sharing that positive energy.
If you have a passion for any STEM subjects or you are in awe with how the world is connected, I would love to see how I can mentor your journey. I have a unique academic and professional background that can add value to any aspirations that seem to be an unusual path. I would add value by sharing how every experience contributes to our growth and takes us to places where we can flourish.
I hope our relationship will provide a brave space to be open about academia and how to navigate the highs and lows.
If you resonate with some of my non-academic passions, such as nature hikes, meditation, reading, fashion and sushi, we just might have a few more things in common!
