I am currently a PhD student in Pure Mathematics at the University of Waterloo under the supervision of Matthew Kennedy and Andy Zucker. My main research interests are in topological dynamics, operator algebras, and descriptive set theory.

I completed my masters at the University of Waterloo under the supervision of Laurent Marcoux. My masters research project was a survey on the C*-envelope using the techniques of injectivity and boundary representations.
