Biography
I’ve been involved with robotics since high school which led me to Mechatronics. I’ve always been interested in innovation and being able to design and create new things. I love that every task that I’m asked to complete is different. This has allowed me to develop my problem-solving skills. My goal is to continue learning and building my skills.<

I got involved in Skills competitions when I learned about these in grade 10 from a friend who had competed in Mechatronics. For me the competition has been stressful but extremely rewarding. Learning that I would be competing at WorldSkills Shanghai 2026 was one of the best moments of my life! Representing my country at the WorldSkills Competition is a huge honor. I believe that staying calm and focused throughout the four days of competition is going to be my biggest challenge. I’m excited to meet the other competitors in my Skill Area from around the world and to get to know the other members of WorldSkills Team Canada 2026.
