I’ve worked as a data scientist, research assistant, teaching assistant, financial analyst, piano teacher, and personal trainer.
I was almost a quant, but walked away to explore opportunities that are more aligned with my values and interests.
I enjoy working at the intersection of analytics, communication, and design — toggling between numbers and narratives, statistics and stories.
I ask a lot of questions, and treat life as a series of hypothesis tests.

What I’ve been up to, in reverse chronological order:
- said goodbye to quant trading and the deferred life plan
- moved to NYC!
- tracked how I spent every hour of my life for 3+ months
- took a gap year to visit family, travel, and explore
- befriended a member of parliament to get paperwork unstuck
- got two pieces of paper from UofT: a BSc in statistics and a BBA in finance
- built analytics tools to help HR source and evaluate candidates
- evangelized 3b1b videos to students in my tutorials
- advised non-profits on delivering better services to newcomers in Canada
- crunched numbers for the CFO group at a Canadian bank
