Toronto, Ontario
I study statistics, economics, and math at the University of Toronto (Trinity College), where I also conduct stats research. I'm currently interning in finance & investments at a pension plan. Reach out! I always want to meet more people with controversial opinions, expansive ideas, or who want to go on runs.
Currently
