Background
About
I’m heading into my second-last year at the University of Windsor, where I study political science with minors in economics and computer science. I originally started in finance where I spent two years before switching into political science, which ended up being a much better fit for the kind of work I enjoy.
Outside of school and work, I have always been drawn to competitive and creative things. I am a former national-level kickboxer, won an Ontario provincial lacrosse championship, and played varsity hockey throughout high school. While I don't really play video games anymore, back in high school I was ranked globally in several major titles: Call of Duty, Rainbow Six Siege and others. I also love to paint (I’m currently selling my artwork to fundraise for a humanitarian organization), play chess, and tend to dabble in a lot of smaller hobbies.
These days, the bulk of my free time goes into the kinds of projects I plan to share on this site: essays, tools, research projects, and other work that connects my interests in law, policy, finance, strategy, and technology.
Current work
At the moment I’m finishing an 8 month strategy internship at Zurich Canada in Toronto, where my work has been focused on the firm’s ESG strategy. I’ve found the consulting-style nature of work to be especially rewarding, and I’m hoping to build on that through more consulting and strategy internships in the coming semesters.
Before Zurich, I interned at the Crown Attorney’s Office in Windsor. On campus, I serve as the President of the University of Windsor’s Mock Trial Association (legal competitions), I run the legal team at my university’s student investment fund ($270k AUM) and compete on the debate team.
