About Me

I've recently graduated with an Honours BSc in Statistics with a Minor in Computer Science from the University of Ottawa and am currently working on the Development and PA testing team for Canada Border Services Agency. When I'm not trying to learn more about machine learning and AI, taking on side projects in R, or diving into stats about anything and everything, you'll find me talking about basketball, watching the next best show on Netflix, or in the middle of an apparent "#1 Best-Seller". If you want to learn more about my accomplishments, check out my resume. If you want to see what i've been up to, check out any of my socials!
