I am a Master's student at the Wilfrid Laurier University where I study Business Economics (MABE). I have broad professional interests from data analytics, economic policy, and retail operations.

Professional Experiences:

During my tenure at the Ontario Ministry of Economic Development, I conducted an in-depth analysis of the electric vehicle (EV) battery sector, identifying critical human capital needs to foster job creation and economic growth. At Indigenous Services Canada, I provided a director-level briefing, incorporating data visualizations and strategic insights to enhance understanding of Indigenous business data, with a focus on various industries, gender-based analysis, and distinction-based research.

My experience extends beyond economic research; at WatSpeed at the University of Waterloo, I led market research initiatives in the professional development sector. I also served as a Merchandise Analyst at Home Hardware performing category management and item reports and as a Corporate Strategy Analyst at Northbridge Financial Corporation, where I supported market research efforts to drive business expansion.

As for my economic research interests, my recent research assesses the reproduciblity and researcher transparency of copper price forecasting studies. I am also writing a major research paper examining commodity price forecasting with mixed-frequency modelling techniques. My previous research has broadly focused on economic growth and development, specifically on military expenditure, spatial econometrics, and the effects of war. 

Personal Interests:

• Traveling: I have been to 20 countries, specifically East Asia, Africa, and Europe. My personal favorite country I visited has been Taiwan!

• Economic Research: I like researching today's and tomorrow's pressing economic problems. Right now, I'm researching how we can incorporate various data frequencies to build comprehensive forecasting models.

• Volunteering: Currently, I'm building an MABE program student union. Previously, I was a student representative for my master's program and an Editor at the Laurier Business and Economics Review. I was also a Consulting Director at 180 Degrees Consulting Waterloo, the Elected Vice President, Retail at the UW Arts Student Union, a student representative for the UW Undergraduate Affairs Group, and so much more!

• Science Videos: I love watching Veritasium, Joe Scott, Kurzgesagt, Miniminuteman, and more amazing creators who put a lot of time into making educational content!

• Pokemon: I'm a big Pokemon collector! I have a collection of over 3000 cards (many duplicates) and counting.
