Education

My university education started at Kwantlen Polytechnic University (KPU) where I was planning to complete a degree in Physics for Modern Technology. I completed the first year of the degree and also took numerous business and economics courses here. After completing my first year at KPU I transferred into the Mechatronic Systems Engineering program at Simon Fraser University (SFU). In early 2021 I graduated from SFU with distinction and as a featured graduand.
