I am a mechanical biomedical engineer, lifelong learner, and maker with a diverse range of interests, skills, and experiences.
I currently work at the Neil Squire Society, a Canadian registered charity and national not-for-profit organization that empowers people with disabilities through employment, digital literacy, and innovation. We operate a program called Makers Making Change, which provides a curated libary of open-source assistive technology designs, and helps connect people with disabilities to volunteer makers to help make those designs. I am the Manager of the MMC Technology Team.
I was fortunate enough to grow up in Kimberley, B.C. right beside the Rocky Mountains in the East Kootenay region of British Columbia, Canada. In 2007, I completed a Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering at the University Of Alberta. I went on to complete a Master's degree in Biomedical Engineering at the University of British Columbia. I currently live in Kimberley, British Columbia, Canada.
My personal strengths are themed around restoration, learning, analysing, deliberating, and intellection. This means I thrive at solving complex problems and figuring out ways to work smarter.
My other work and volunteer experience is available on LinkedIn). You can see more details on professional and personal projects here on this site, and through other online accounts: Instagram and GitHub.
