I am a proud UBC alumna with a masters in psychology and organizational behaviour. My professional background is in the consulting and tech space, supporting various industries, from heavy industry to finance.

I graduated from UBC’s Master's degree in Educational Administration and Leadership in 2016. In the past 7 years, I have gained valuable experience working in both the private and public sectors, primarily in recruitment and admissions. I find great fulfillment in working with prospective students and witnessing their growth and achievements as they embark on their chosen educational paths. I’m deeply committed to fostering a diverse, supportive and inclusive environment at UBC Sauder. Beyond my professional endeavors, I embrace an adventurous spirit - you can often find me scaling mountains or playing squash on the court.
