I went to my first hackathon in 2023. Since then, I've attended six hackathons, and I've had the opportunity to organize Apocalypse and Hack49. I'm also the head of outreach and marketing at Hackathons North America.

Now I'm in way too deep because I'm a DECA competitor, FBLC trainer, I have a co-op placement at NEM, and I do a lot of freelance marketing.

I also cheer for the Raptors, Canucks, Bills, and Blue Jays. Some of the coolest stuff I've done is go to Provs for snowboarding and participate in rep basketball back in elementary school. I'm a Raptors superfan too; my fam has season tickets + 5 articles of signed memorabilia, and I got to stand in front of Siakam during O Canada in 2019.
I've never had a paid job. Instead, I've accumulated over 2000 volunteer hours, with the bulk of it from my church. I do childcare, summer camp management, and livestream/camera operation. I also volunteer around my school whenever I can.
