Hello there,

Economics & Business student at UW │ Owner at Transcend Vintage

A Little Bit About Me
I am on a mission to seek innovative solutions to social problems through economic research, generative AI, and entrepreneurship.
I'm interested in economics (particularly economic development and innovation economics), data science and data analysis, generative AI modelling, and self-actualization.
I love to write. You can find my blog posts, book reviews, and research articles, covering everything from personal growth to economic phenomena, under the 'Learn Something New' tab.
Professional Background
I've been interning at IBM Consulting for the past year; first as a sales enablement specialist, and currently as a business analyst, where I am focused on integrating generative AI into internal and external assets/ processes within the IBM Payments Center.
Prior to this role, I spent over 4 years in sales and business development.
Other than that,I run a vintage clothing e-commerce shop through which I've gained experience in marketing, financial management, and business management.

Owner @ Transcend Vintage
As the owner of Transcend Vintage, my goal is to empower women to discover and express their unique personal style through vintage clothing, while making a positive impact on our planet. I am committed to reducing textile waste by extending the lifecycle of clothing.
Economics & Business Student @ UW
Studying Economics and Business at the University of Waterloo has given me a solid foundation in understanding the forces that shape our world. I apply this knowledge as an economic research writer, where my latest work explores the paradox of global hunger and its socio-economic implications.
Economic Research Writer @ UW EconSoc
I am an economic research writer at the UW Economics Society, with my latest article 'The Paradox of Global Hunger' exploring why globally, 783 million people are hungry and 2.4 billion are food insecure, despite the fact that we produce enough food to feed 1.5x the world's population.
As you explore my site, you'll get a glimpse into who I am and what I can bring to the table. I hope you find something that inspires or informs you along the way!
