I was born in Ottawa, Ontario where I stayed for my undergraduate studies at the University of Ottawa. I completed my honours project under the supervision of Prof. Derek Pratt monitoring the kinetics of radical-trapping antioxidants in various media using spectrophotometry. I also spent a semester examining bacterial biofilms in the laboratory of Prof. Thien-Fah Mah. After graduating, I joined the Cosa lab as an MSc. student and am studying biologically relevant redox chemistry using small molecule fluorogenic probes. In my times outside the lab, I enjoy watching too many sports, listening to only good music, and discovering Montreal by foot.
