About

I currently work as a New Media Production Assistant at Ryerson University, a Makerspace Technician and STEAM Educator at the Royal Ontario Museum, and teach digital media literacy and skills at InterAccess. I also work as an Assistant Coach on the Ryerson Varsity Fencing Team. Other professional highlights include working as an experience designer on Thymio Playground at TIFF Kids digiPlayspace, a Social Media Marketer at Ryerson's DMZ and as a T.A. in Computational Arts. Additionally I have worked as a facilitator at TIFF Kids digiPlayspace, taught tech & startup skills at STEAMLabs and St. Alban's Boys and Girls Club, and facilitated media events and conferences at Ryerson's Rogers Communications Centre.

I am a Dean's List graduate of the Ryerson New Media: BFA program. I was a captain of the Varsity Fencing Team, a finalist for the G.L. Dobson Outstanding Contribution to Interuniversity Sport, Campus, and Community Life Award and an OUA Academic All-Star.
