Hi! I love playing chess and basketball, so if you like either of those things, I'm down to play. I also do some studying, but I think it's even more important to keep doing the fun things that you love, even as an engineering student. The FYEO pre orientation events were amazing and everyone was so friendly that I felt part of the TMU engineering community right away.

Hi all! I'm looking forward to helping first-year students develop both academically and as well-rounded professionals. I entered my undergraduate studies in undeclared engineering, so ensuring I had the information to make the correct decision was a high priority and is something I'd like to help you with! By meeting alumni, upper-year students, and industry professionals during my first year, I took advantage of the opportunities I had to learn more about the industry I was joining and what my program could offer me.
