EDUCATION

  • University of British Columbia — Bachelor of Education 2021
  • University of British Columbia — Bachelor of Science 2018
  • Specializing in a triple-major of chemistry, mathematics, and physics, my undergraduate work focused on communication of scientific concepts and applications in atmospheric science. This well-rounded understanding of different scientific fields has given me a diverse set of teachable subjects and an ability to connect material between classes, including applications using coding and scientific analysis of problems.
