Summary

I am a people-oriented, adaptable person, shaped by moving to different provinces and meeting people from diverse backgrounds. I showed leadership early on as a prefect in both primary and high school and earned several academic awards along the way. I stay active by going to the gym and spending time outdoors, and I enjoy expressing my creative side through art. Coming from a big, close-knit family has taught me the value of empathy and teamwork.
