Pursuing this interest, I ventured to Toronto to study Biology, eventually specializing with a Masters in Applied Environmental Science. This academic journey wasn't just about gaining knowledge; it was about understanding our ecosystem and finding ways to protect it. My passion for the environment was complemented by my involvement in museums and science fairs, where I embraced the scout-inspired principle of making a positive impact wherever I went.

Photography also became a significant part of my life, serving as a creative outlet to explore and document the world's beauty, often with a favorite book by my side.

Professionally, I've worked across various sectors, from dynamic startups like HelloFresh and Goodfood to large corporations such as Walmart and Fairmont Hotels. In roles focusing on sourcing, sustainability, and diversity, I've always strived to make a difference, no matter the scale, no matter how uncomfortable.
