About Me
Hi! I’m a 16-year-old innovator passionate about leveraging technology to address our global consumption of fossil fuels. When I’m not learning, I’m probably reading, playing sports, or writing. My debut novel was published when I was 14 and was a #1 bestseller in magical realism. The sequel, "Chronicles of Illusions: Bound by Dreams" was released in May 2022 and is available on all platforms. You can find both books on Amazon here.

One of my main projects has been working on a flexible solar cell. Leveraging solar’s intersection with nanotechnology, I have been working in a lab at TMU to build this out.

I am currently developing a bioplastic from duckweed through an internship at Pond Biomaterials, and have been working in a biochem lab at Carleton University.

I am the co-host of The Curiosity Podcast which centers around equipping young people with the skills they need to thrive in the future. Our podcast has been heard in 46 countries.
