About Me
I am from Calgary originally but I am currently in my second year studying Nanotechnology engineering at the University of Waterloo. The reason I chose nanotechnology is because it is such a broad and accelerated program; most of the classes are condensed as Nanotechnology has to cover so many different disciplines. It is essentially a marriage between Chemistry, Quantum Physics and Chemical Engineering.
In my free time I love playing sports and I am on both the soccer and hockey inter-mural teams at the university. Most of my time is taken up studying but I also go to the the gym daily and play guitar to de-stress. My family is very health oriented and as such I make an effort to eat organic, healthy food. My mother is Swedish and I have spent a lot of time in Sweden. As such I am bilingual; fluent in Swedish and English.

Jobs
As a student at the University of Waterloo I am required to complete a certain amount of Co-op Jobs. Ideally these jobs are nanotechnology related, however I am open to new opportunities. If you have an opening please email me, I'd love to hear from you!
Computer Programs
I have experience in most Autodesk programs, specifically Inventor and CAD as well as MATLAB and Python. I have worked extensively with Excel, Powerpoint and various analysis programs such as Origin and STAR.
Work Experience
LinkedIn has a full list, but my most recent job was at the University of Uppsala in Sweden. I was functionalizing the groundbreaking material Upsalite.
Leadership and Awards
I had the opportunity to speak at a panel for the Waterloo delegation to the Nobel Prize ceremonies in Stockholm. I have also attended many leadership conferences and received the presidents award. From a young age I have been very involved in sports teams so I am very familiar with a team mentality.
