My Journey Map

Free time... What's that?

I did multiple extracurriculars as a kid including dance, figure skating, choir, piano, violin, swimming and interactive theater. This was the start of my never ending journey to finding hobbies outside of academics!

2020

I graduated high school! I challenged myself to take IB level classes to improve more academically

I moved alone to Ontario to start my studies at Queen's University!

This was certainly a challenging experience as I had to start anew in a new place but I still managed to establish my home away from home〜

(Also adopted my adorable first child Vivi)

During my years at Queen's I learnt many skills but the biggest one was how to be flexible; especially when things went wrong! I took on many leadership positions including one year as the event planner for the computing students' association (planning events for over 200+ students?!) where there were many unexpected parts but I strove to achieve the best I could despite circumstances

2025

I completed a bachelor's degree in Fundamental Computation at Queen's University with high honors and a professional full-stack development internship at Point Lepreau! During my internship I realized one major flaw in the development of most technologies... although there are many skilled programmers, many do not consider the design of their systems and their potential impacts!

 

This kickstarted my interest in human interaction with technology. I then decided to pursue further studies into the field of User Experience at University of Toronto

So this is where we're at now right?
Nope!

With complacency comes comfort with the mundane. I decided to challenge myself to confront my fears and to do activities that were outside my comfort zone to learn new skills, improve my existing ones or just to try something new!
