Bio

I am a third year student at McGill University's Honor's Program in International Development with a minor in Philosophy.

I work as a residence advisor at McGill's Student Housing Services and Hospitality. I support the students in on the spot crisis and conflict management as well as year long support. I create and run programming for my students including programs based on health and wellness, equity diversity and inclusivity and academic achievement. Additionally, I work as an events coordinator at Safely Connected McGill, the Eating Disorder Resource Center.

In the future I hope to work in International Relations, Policy and Development as well as potentially pursue a law degree and specialize in International Law. I hope to continue to work and volunteer in companies and organizations that strive to better the lives of people and work towards driving positive change.
