Besides my academic studies, I enjoy most of my time being outdoors. In summer, I love hiking and camping in the beautiful mountains of British Columbia. During the calm winters of Vancouver, I love to drive up the beautiful Sea to Sky Highway to Whistler for skiiing.

When forced indoors, I'm a dedicated gamer. Favourites include God of War, Last of Us, Red Dead Redemption and Final Fantasy Series.I am also an aspiring photographer.
