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, generative AI, and self-actualization.

I love to write. Read my blog posts, book reviews, and research articles under 'Learn Something New', where I cover all things economics, self-actualization, innovation, and more. 

Professional Background 

My most recent experience was at the IBM Payments Center, as a Gen AI Transformation business analyst, market researcher, and sales enablement specialist.

Before that, I worked as a data analyst at Comparastore, a business development representative at Tugboat Logic and OneTrust, and a sales rep at GoSales/Telus. 

Since 2022, I've been running an e-commerce vintage clothing shop, Transcend Vintage, where I currently work primarily as a strategy analyst. 

Consultant Intern @ IBM Consulting 

My role spans business analysis, gen AI assistant development, and Gen AI Transformation support/enablement. I've worked on asset commercialization, offering collateral, global strategic partnerships, sales enablement and generative AI transformation & enablement within the IBM Payments Center. 

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.
