English Teaching AssistantThe Fulbright Program
I graduated from Harvard College in 2022 with a concentration in sociology and secondary in educational studies (go Lowell!); and recently received my Ed.M. from HGSE in human development and education this past May 2026. I have four years of work experience in higher education administration and am currently preparing for my Fulbright year in Cambodia, where I will be teaching English at the middle and high school-level for 10 months. I hope to move to the Toronto, Canada area after my Fulbright year ends (August-September 2027), so I’m looking forward to starting new connections now! My focus areas include trauma-informed education, mental health and wellness, gender equity, international development, social change, and humanitarian innovation. My goal is to become a Buddhist chaplain and work in higher education spiritual support settings.

Program Manager Nuclear StandardsCanadian Standards (CSA Group)
A Program Manager for the CSA Nuclear Standards Program and a Professional Engineer with over 20 years of experience in project management, strategic planning, development, and execution. My expertise spans multiple sectors, including construction and infrastructure, environment and climate change, and nuclear power generation. I am an innovative leader with proven skills in business development, strategic initiatives, and program management. This is evidenced by my successful management of the nuclear standards program, overseeing a portfolio of over 21 projects annually, valued at over $3M, through direct reports of nine project managers. This role has provided me with an in-depth understanding of the nuclear regulatory framework, as 90% of CSA nuclear standards are referenced in Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission (CNSC) regulations and/or license condition handbooks. I have a strong track record of nurturing strategic relationships with influential industry leaders. This is demonstrated by various business development initiatives, including the expansion of the standards portfolio to encompass emerging technologies such as Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) in the Canadian nuclear industry, Sustainable Finance within the Canadian financial industry, and the Climate Resilience framework within the commercial real estate sector. To further enhance my skills and expertise in business management and corporate sustainability, I have recently achieved a Master’s degree in Corporate Sustainability from Harvard University February 2026.
