Hi! I’m an undergraduate researcher at the University of British Columbia with a focus on using mathematics, data analysis, and policy research to examine Canadian public policy and infrastructure systems. As a BIPOC woman with lived experience navigating infrastructure gaps, I’m deeply committed to exploring how policy decisions shape access, equity, and opportunities for marginalized communities. I’m passionate about turning data into actionable insights that inform policy and infrastructure planning.
