She supports initiatives that enhance student life, including leading the Woodbridge Fellowship cohort and supporting Cultivating Conversation programming to foster constructive dialogue on campus. Originally from Toronto, Canada, she graduated from Yale in 2025 with a B.A. in Economics, where she explored how quantitative methods and data-driven strategies can be applied to challenges in healthcare, public policy, and economic inclusion. At Yale, she led financial strategy as Finance Director of the Yale Women’s Leadership Initiative, taught coding to local youth at the New Haven Free Public Library, and conducted research on AI-driven pharmacy staffing and gender dynamics in the search fund space. A competitive figure skater for 13 years, she directed Yale’s annual exhibition and fenced for Canada’s national team and Yale’s varsity fencing team. These experiences shaped her belief in inclusive leadership and community-centered impact.
