Personal
Ā Iā€™ve followed in my sisterā€™s footsteps my entire life.Ā We went to the same high school, the exact same university and program (we even lived together), and Iā€™m hoping to break into the tech industry just like her! I know I can always ask her about anything and lean on her for support 24/7. Ā I was born & raised on the West Coast of Canada in Vancouver, BC but moved across the country for university. Iā€™ll never get used to the frigid -30 Ā°C/-22 Ā°F East Coast winters but Iā€™ll always be grateful for the lifelong friends and lifetime memories I have made in my 5 years here!
Hobbies
Ā I rediscovered my childhood love of reading at the start of COVID and havenā€™t stopped since! Iā€™ve read 179 books since and some of my favourites are: Why We Sleep (Health), Shoe Dog (Business), Dark Matter (Sci-Fi), and People We Meet On Vacation (Romance).
Ā Running is something I simply have to do at least 2 times a week. Iā€™ve ran races ranging in distance from 10KM to half-marathons (21.1KM) in Seattle, Vancouver, and Toronto. My most recent 10K time was 45:46!
Ā Iā€™m a huge fan of hockey & basketball. Iā€™ve cheered for my hometown team, the Vancouver Canucks, since I was 6 (more bad years than good) and Iā€™ve been a fan of the Toronto Raptors since way before they won the 2019 title (not a bandwagoner).
